Winnipeg Hawks, the team the Nepali pace spearhead plays for in the Global Twenty20 Canada franchise league, secured a place in the playoffs after their match against Vancouver Knights on Wednesday was called off due to wet outfield caused by overnight rain.
Hawks completed their preliminary round matches with five points from six matches and currently hold the third place. Montreal Tigers also have five points but are in fourth position due to net run-rate ahead of their sixth and final match against Toronto Nationals later tonight. Only one of the two teams—either Tigers or Nationals—can pip Hawks to third position. Nepali leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane represents Nationals.
