Last Saturday, in Mississauga, Kadir grabbed two wickets for eight runs from one over to help restrict Titans to 52-6 from five overs, while he returned with the bat to hit an unbeaten 36 as Assassins reached 59-2 with six balls remaining.
He received support from Canada-based Guyanese opener Avish Rukhram, who made 19.

Cassius Waithe took two wickets for 12 runs from his one-over spell.
Kadir was ably assisted by the experienced Rajesh Willie, who claimed two for 12.
In the preliminary round, ex-Guyana player Naresh Roopnarine scored 101 when the action was 10 overs.
According to CSCA President Rishi Mohan, the day was very successful, and seven teams participated in the tournament. Part of the funds raised would be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
