Having been put into bat after losing the toss, the Surrey Jaguars crawled to 130-5 from their 20 overs. Opener Jatinder Singh remained not out on a 57-ball 56, while Ayaan Khan hit a 15-ball 26 from No.5. Iftikhar could not do much with the bat: he fell to Carlos Brathwaite for eight off nine balls.

In response, Montreal Tigers lost Muhammad Waseem in the first over as he was cleaned up by Spencer Johnson. Chris Lynn and Srimantha Wijeyeratne then resurrected the innings before the latter was dismissed for 12 off 15.
