Mississauga Skyhawks beat Vancouver Guardians by four wickets in the Global T20 Canada at Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, on 25 October 2026, chasing down a target of 170 with two balls to spare. Vancouver Guardians posted 169 for 4 from their 20 overs, and the Skyhawks replied with 170 for 6 in 19.4 overs.

Chand anchors the chase

Unmukt Chand was the anchor of the Skyhawks' chase, finishing unbeaten on 64 from 52 balls, with one four and five sixes. Khalid Kail made 29 from 17 balls, Rayyan Pathan 16 from 12, and Wayne Parnell finished unbeaten on 15 from just 5 balls, with two sixes, to see the chase home.

The Guardians' bowlers kept the game alive until late: Shivam Sharma took two wickets for 14 runs and Bradley Currie two for 25, while Arun Nag Sai and Rana Salman took one wicket each. But the Skyhawks kept wickets in hand for the finish, and Parnell's late hitting closed out a chase that had been built patiently around Chand.

A win built on the back end

Chasing 170 needs a side to keep pace without losing the wickets that stall a chase, and the Skyhawks did both. Chand's unbeaten 64 gave the innings its spine, Kail's brisk 29 kept the required rate in check, and Parnell's five-ball finish removed any doubt at the death.

For the Guardians, 169 for 4 was a competitive total that deserved a defence, and for much of the chase it looked as though it might be enough. In the end, two balls were all that separated the sides, and the Skyhawks took the points in a tournament where net run rate and late wins can decide who reaches the knockout stage.
