On Tuesday, October 14th, 2025, the Brampton Blitz were crowned the inaugural champions of the Canada Super 60 tournament at BC Place in Vancouver. The Blitz displayed a dominant performance, defeating the Montreal Royal Tigers by eight wickets.
The Blitz’s bowlers were lethal, with top-quality spells from Dillon Heyliger (4/9), David Wiese (3/6), and Chris Greaves (3/16) bundling out the Tigers for just 69 runs in eight overs. The only batters to reach double figures for the Tigers were Shakib Al Hasan (29 off 12) and Dilpreet Bajwa (18 off 8).

Alex Davies sealed the victory in style with a six, bringing the match to an end in just 5.5 overs. Scotland’s Brad Currie (2/19) picked up both wickets for the Tigers.

Chasing a target of 148 runs, Martin Guptill (79 off 25) and Will Smeed (63 off 21) put on a massive 141-run partnership in just 6.5 overs. Guptill’s whirlwind knock included 11 sixes and two fours, while Smeed smashed eight sixes and a four to bring the Blitz home in eight overs.
In the first innings, Leus de Plooy (43 off 20) and Sikandar Raza (29 off 13) gave the Masters an explosive start. De Plooy continued his fine form, hitting cleanly to maintain his position as one of the tournament’s top scorers. Shubham Ranjane (25 off 9) and Rayyan Pathan (19 off 7) carried the momentum forward, helping the Masters post a formidable total. Piyush Chawla was the pick of the Blitz’s bowling attack, taking three wickets for 23 runs in two overs.
In the first semi-final, the Montreal Royal Tigers defeated the Vancouver Kings by 24 runs to secure their spot in the final.
