The Panthers losing both their games were up against a strong-looking Tigers. The Tigers' skipper won the toss and decided to bowl first, continuing the trend of this tournament till now.

The Tigers' bowlers were on song from the start, removing both the openers in the first two overs. The Panthers seemed to be in deep trouble, having no answers to the disciplined bowling from the Tigers. Navneet Dhaliwal and Azam Khan had a little partnership between them, but soon Shakib Al Hasan removed the dangerous-looking Azam Khan. The Kiwi international Jimmy Neesham then joined Dhaliwal in the middle. Another little partnership between these settled the Panthers' momentum, but a string of wickets in quick succession hampered that momentum. Jimmy Neesham displayed all his experience and ability and took the Panthers to a score of 140.

The chase for the Tigers started off on an unlikely note, Muhammad Waseem mistimed one off Jaskaran that went straight to Usman Qadir who pouched it with ease. The next to come in was Shakib Al Hasan, who came into the middle with positive intent. Both experienced players took charge of the Panthers' bowling attack. The Tigers were looking comfortable in their chase. A moment of excellence from Azam Khan brought a little ray of hope to the Panthers' side when Azam removed Shakib with a lightning stumping. This didn't faze Chris Lynn a bit who was going at his own pace. With some assistance from Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Lynn finished off the chase with ease and in style.

Montreal Tigers won the match with 7 wickets.
