Canada Super60, a cricket tournament played at Vancouver's iconic BC Place Stadium, concluded Monday night. Brampton Blitz defeated the Montreal Royal Tigers in a lopsided contest in yesterday's title match.

In the final match, the Montreal Royal Tigers team could not even last the full 10 overs and were all out for 69 runs in 8 overs. In reply, the Brampton Blitz team achieved the target in the 6th over.

This tournament was organized by cricketer Yuvraj Singh along with some other organizers. Yesterday, on the last day of the league, Yuvraj Singh arrived with his family and he also took a tour of the stadium with his wife and children to thank the people who had come to the stadium.

Yuvi was present throughout the presentation ceremony and was the one who presented the trophy to the winning team and immediately walked away from the camera smiling so that the focus of the occasion was not on himself but on the winning team.
