GT20 Canada 2023: How did the international players fare in Brampton Wolves vs Surrey Jaguars, Match 7?
The seventh match of the third GT20 Canada edition was contested by Brampton Wolves (BV) and Surrey Jaguars (SJ) on July 23. The CAA Centre in Brampton was the venue for this game.
Much to the despair of the fans, the game was hit by a severe rain interruption and as a result, it was eventually abandoned. Only a little of seven overs could be bowled before the rain gods unleashed their wrath.
The two teams walk away with equal points from this fixture. Due to the rain interruption, we could not see many international players live in action.
However, some players such as Mark Chapman, Hussain Talat, Colin de Grandhomme, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Sandeep Lamichhane were lucky enough to make their presence felt before the rain took center stage.
As the rain-effected game comes to a close, let us see how some of the international starts from either side performed.

The New Zealand top-order batter could not open his account as he was dismissed on the very first ball that he faced from Matthew Forde. He was adjudged leg before wicket and fell on the third ball of the second over for 0(1).

Talat scored an unbeaten 10(13) before the rain interruption occurred. He smashed just a single boundary in his entire innings.
