The last match of the second round will be between Montreal Tigers and Toronto Nationals. Nepal’s other bowler Sandeep Lamichhane is playing from Toronto.
Till now, Vancouver Knights and Brampton Wolves already qualified for the play-off and all other remaining four teams have the chance to make it to the top four and qualify for the eliminator.

Similarly, a won for Toronto Nationals will send them to the play-off along with the Winnipeg Hawks and will have to play each other in the eliminator.
