Montreal beats WIndies B in Canada T20

Montreal has beaten West Indies B by six wickets with 15 balls to spare in the Global T20 Canada cricket tournament.

Sunil Narine has smashed nine sixes to lead his Montreal Tigers team to a six-wicket victory over West Indies B at the Global T20 Canada cricket tournament.

Montreal scored 4-165 in 17.3 overs after restricting West Indies B to 7-162 in the opening match of Round 2 at Maple Leaf North-West Ground in King City on Tuesday.

Montreal, which won the toss, started its run chase by losing an early wicket with only 10 on the board before left-hander Narine and Moises Henriques shared a 71-run partnership for the second wicket.

Opener Narine hit 61 off 25 balls.

Sikandar Raza (32 not out) and Najibullah Zadran (29 not out) led Montreal to victory.

Earlier, allrounder Shamar Springer was the main provider of runs for West Indies, scoring 62 off 40 balls with seven fours and three sixes.

Spinner Sandeep Lamichhane finished on 3-31 from four overs, including the wickets of Springer and next highest scorer Nicholas Pooran (25).
