Brampton, August 7: Montreal Tigers defeated Surrey Jaguars by 5 wickets to lift the Global T20 Canada (GT20) 2023 title at the CAA Centre in Bramton, Ontario, Canada on Sunday (August 6) night.

After all-round bowling effort helped restrict Surrey Jaguars to 130/5 in the GT20 Season 3 final, Sherfane Rutherford and Andre Russell's 29-run stand off 12 balls sealed the win for Montreal Tigers in the final over.

Needing 24 from 12 balls, Rutherford (38 not out off 29 balls) and Russell (20 not out off 6 balls) smashed three sixes and 1 four in the final two overs to get Montreal Tigers across the line and to their first-ever GT20 title.

For Jaguars, skipper Ifhtikar Ahmed starred with the ball, claiming 2 wickets for 8 runs in his 4 overs, but that effort was not enough to stop the Tigers from reaching a paltry target. However, the debutants of the league made the Tigers work hard in the run chase.

Earlier, put into bat, Mohammad Haris (23) and Jatinder Singh (56*) started cautiously and at the end of the powerplay the Surrey Jaguars were 35/0. Jatinder Singh anchored the innings, with an unbeaten half century.

A. Afzal Khan got the Tigers their first breakthrough, when he trapped a well settled Haris (23) in the sixth over. Litton Das (12) joined Jatinder Singh and continued to rotate the strike and minimize risks. At the halfway mark of ten overs the Jaguars were 58/1.

Soon after, Afzal Khan scalped Das (12) in the eleventh over. Skipper Iftikhar Ahmed (8) looked to move the scoreboard along and lost his wicket as well to Carlos Brathwaite's low full toss.

Ayaan Khan (26) walked in for the Jaguars and played a much-needed quick fire knock towards the death overs in just 15 deliveries before he was cleaned up by Abbas Afridi in the nineteenth over.

Andre Russell bowled a terrific last over, conceding only 7 runs and scalping Matthew Forde (1) in the process. The Surrey Jaguars finished on a competitive total of 130/5.

The Montreal Tigers' response had a tempestuous start. Following a dropped catch, Muhammad Waseem (0) was bowled by a ripper from Spencer Johnson. At the end of the powerplay the Tigers were poised at 35/1.

Coming in at number three, Srimantha Wijeyeratne (12) failed to convert his start, however, opener Chris Lynn (31) batted well to make a key contribution but was dismissed by in the eleventh over.

In the same over, Iftikhar scalped Dilpreet Singh (15), who was also getting his eye in, to switch the momentum back in favour of the Jaguars. With five overs to go the Montreal Tigers needed 53 runs with six wickets in hand.

Rutherford and Dipendra Singh (16) struggled to score runs against Iftikhar, who conceded just one run in the sixteenth over. Rutherford took apart Forde in the eighteenth over, with a six and a four to bring the equation down to 25 runs needed of 12 balls.

Dipendra Singh retired out, to bring out the dangerous Russell. Spencer Johnson bowled the penultimate over and conceded 12 runs to the duo of Russell and Rutherford.

With two runs needed of the last ball, pacer Ammar Khalid could not contain Russell who dispatched his second maximum of the over, to claim the silverware for the Montreal Tigers. Here's the GT20 2023 full list of award winners, prize money and stats:
