Twitter Reacts as Toronto Nationals Beats Montreal Tigers in the Last Over

Toronto Nationals kept their nerves in the dying moment to register their second victory against Montreal Tigers by one wicket at the  Maple Leaf North-West Ground. 

While chasing down a competitive total, Toronto found themselves in early trouble at 27 for 3, with Steven Smith, Kamran Akmal, and Johnson Charles all back in the hut. Anton Devcich and Nitish Kumar rebuilt the innings with a 93-run stand for the fourth wicket.

However, some quick wickets ensured Toronto sliding down to 149 for 8 in the 18th over.  Kieron Pollard and Mohammad Sami combined to smack Sunil Narine for a couple of sixes as the equation came down to 13 off six balls. Pollard struck a six and a four in the first two balls of Siddle. However, he departed top-edging which turned the tables again.

Unfortunately for Montreal, Kesrick Williams landed the final punch to close the doors on the opposition ranks.

Previously, George Worker and Moises Henriques had cracked fifties to lay the platform for Montreal’s total. For Toronto, Sami snared three scalps for 34 runs while Pollard took the other wicket to fall.
