Controversies

In the playoff stage of the tournament, the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator were washed out due to rain. In Qualifier 1, Montreal Tigers were declared winners and qualified for the final directly, as they finished higher in the group stage while the Brampton Wolves advanced to Qualifier 2. In the Eliminator, the match was not played due to rain, but the match referee chose to play an Super Over between the teams to decide the winner. But Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangla Tigers Mississauga, did not attend the toss and, as a result, Toronto Nationals were elected winners, thus advancing to Qualifier 2.
