Match Details

The official FanCode schedule lists White Rock Warriors vs Brampton Blitz at 4:30 AM IST on September 30.

White Rock Warriors Team Preview

White Rock Warriors have retained a number of experienced names in their Season 2 squad, including Sam Billings, Dwaine Pretorius, Jordan Thompson, Jake Ball and Kane Richardson. The squad also contains Canadian and associate-nation players, giving the franchise a mixture of international experience and local knowledge.

Batting Strength

Sam Billings provides White Rock with an experienced wicketkeeper-batter capable of scoring quickly. The official Canada Super 60 profile describes him as an aggressive right-handed batter with experience in the T20 format and the ability to accelerate an innings.

Ricardo Vasconcelos gives the side another left-handed wicketkeeping-batting option, while Nick Hobson and Brandon McMullen add further batting depth. Darius Visser and Jordan Thompson can also provide lower-order hitting.

For T10 cricket, the main challenge will be ensuring that the strongest boundary hitters face enough deliveries. White Rock cannot afford to spend too many of the first 20 or 25 balls simply establishing the innings.

Bowling Strength

White Rock have several experienced pace options. Jake Ball and Kane Richardson provide specialist fast-bowling experience, while Dwaine Pretorius and Jordan Thompson offer additional seam-bowling choices. Baltej Singh, Prabhpreet Bhullar and Sukhjinder Singh add further variety.

The team therefore has enough bowling depth to distribute the 10 overs according to matchups. Richardson or Ball could be particularly important with the new ball, while Pretorius and Thompson can offer variations later in the innings.

The main weakness is that T10 bowling gives every error greater significance. A single over containing several boundaries can change the equation immediately.

Overall Balance

White Rock’s balance is built around experienced wicketkeeper-batting options, several seamers and multiple players who can contribute in more than one discipline. The side will need its senior players to make an immediate impact because there is little time for the batting order or bowling unit to recover from an ineffective start.

Brampton Blitz Team Preview

Brampton Blitz arrive as the defending Canada Super 60 champions. Their 2025 campaign ended with victories in both the semi-final and final, and the franchise has retained several members of that championship squad for Season 2.

Batting Strength

The Blitz have significant top-order experience. Jonny Bairstow is the marquee addition, while Martin Guptill and James Vince also provide proven opening or top-three options. The franchise’s official squad announcement describes Guptill and Vince as players who featured in the championship-winning campaign.

In a 10-over game, that experience can be valuable. Bairstow, Guptill and Vince have extensive experience attacking from the beginning of an innings, although the exact order will depend on the final XI and tactical plan.

Tom Curran and Ben Raine provide additional batting depth, while Chris Greaves and Dilon Heyliger offer all-round options.

Bowling Strength

Brampton’s bowling group includes Tymal Mills, Hardus Viljoen, Tom Curran, Dilon Heyliger, Chris Greaves and Rishiv Joshi. Mills and Viljoen provide left-arm and right-arm pace variety, while Greaves gives the side a leg-spin option.

Heyliger is particularly familiar with the competition. He returned for Season 2 as the leading wicket-taker from the inaugural tournament, having taken 13 wickets in seven matches in 2025.

That gives Brampton a strong selection of bowling roles, although the challenge will be deciding when to use each option across only 10 overs.

Overall Balance

The Blitz combine experienced top-order batting with a deep collection of all-rounders and fast bowlers. Their 2025 title-winning campaign also means several players have already experienced the specific demands of T10 cricket at BC Place.

Squad & Team News

White Rock Warriors’ published Season 2 squad includes Sam Billings, Baltej Singh, Jordan Thompson, Dwaine Pretorius, Nick Hobson, Jake Ball, Kane Richardson, Aryan Sidhu, Prabhpreet Bhullar, Brandon McMullen, Ricardo Vasconcelos, Sukhjinder Singh, Sheel Patel, Shivam Sharma and Darius Visser.

Brampton Blitz’s official Season 2 announcement lists Jonny Bairstow, Martin Guptill, James Vince, Tom Curran, Tymal Mills, Hardus Viljoen, Chris Greaves, Ben Raine, Dilon Heyliger, Matthew Tromp, Yuvraj Samra, Asa Tribe, Finley Dixon and Rishiv Joshi among the squad.

Key Players

White Rock Warriors

Sam Billings is the most obvious batting focal point. His wicketkeeping and ability to accelerate make him particularly valuable in a format where the top order receives a disproportionate share of the available deliveries.

Dwaine Pretorius adds value through both disciplines and brings previous Canada Super 60 experience. His ability to contribute with the ball as well as finish an innings gives White Rock flexibility.

Kane Richardson is an important bowling option because his specialist pace experience can be used during the early or closing overs.

Jordan Thompson offers another two-skill option and was among White Rock’s notable contributors in the inaugural competition.

Brampton Blitz

Jonny Bairstow gives Brampton an experienced top-order wicketkeeper-batter and is the franchise’s marquee player for Season 2.

Martin Guptill provides another established power-hitting option. He was also part of Brampton’s championship-winning squad in 2025.

Dilon Heyliger returns as the leading wicket-taker from the inaugural Canada Super 60 season, with 13 wickets in seven matches.

Tymal Mills provides left-arm pace and gives Brampton a different angle in the bowling attack.

Pitch Report

BC Place is the established home venue for Canada Super 60, with the league played under the stadium’s retractable roof. Canada Super 60 describes the competition as a 10-over format in which each team receives 60 legal deliveries and an entire match lasts roughly 90 minutes.

The 2025 Canada Super 60 results show that high scores are possible at the venue. Brampton scored 136/5 against Toronto and 152/1 in the semi-final chase, while White Rock made 115/7 against Brampton and 117/5 against Montreal.

The available evidence therefore supports an attacking approach rather than assuming that BC Place will automatically produce a low-scoring contest. The exact surface behaviour for this fixture will become clearer once the match-day conditions are known.

Weather Conditions

The match is being played inside BC Place, so outdoor weather is less likely to directly interrupt the game. Canada Super 60’s official material confirms that the tournament is staged beneath BC Place’s retractable roof.

Toss Prediction

Toss Prediction: Brampton Blitz to win the toss

What to Do After Winning the Toss

If White Rock Warriors win the toss

Bowling first could be a sensible tactical choice because it would allow Ball, Richardson and Thompson to attack Brampton’s top order before a target is established. Chasing also gives White Rock a clearly defined scoring requirement across 10 overs.

If Brampton Blitz win the toss

Bowling first is also a logical option. Brampton’s fast-bowling group can attempt to remove White Rock’s leading batters early, after which Bairstow, Guptill and Vince would know exactly what is required in the chase.
