The European Cricket Series (ECS) is set to host its third edition of the ECS Belgium tournament. It is scheduled to start on Monday, July 7, and conclude on Friday, July 11. Over the period of five days, 21 matches shall be played at the Stars Arena Hofstade, Zemst.
The matches will be played in a single round-robin format, with each team facing the opponent once, before the top four teams qualify for the playoffs.
The tournament will see seven teams competing for the coveted title: Antwerp Giants, Brussels Bashers, Gent Wolves, Hasselt Titans, Leuven Lions, Liege Stallions, and Ostend Tigers.
The previous edition of the ECS Belgium, held in 2022, saw Mechelen Eagles emerge victorious, defeating Gent Wolves by 17 runs in a thrilling final.
Despite a standout bowling performance from Rehyan Faiz, who claimed five crucial wickets for Gent Wolves, the batting side collapsed for just 96 while chasing a modest target of 113. In the inaugural edition of the tournament, Beveren CC triumphed, outclassing Mechelen Eagles to claim the title.
On that note, let's take a look at the tournament’s schedule, squads, and match timings:
