Venue Details and Pitch Report

Match Timings: 10 Jul, 09:30 PM IST

Match Venue: Karsby Cricket Center, Stockholm

Umpires:

Pitch Report: The Karsby strip has been extremely conducive for power-hitting. The batsmen have got full value for their shots when they have hold their balance and posture. Muscling the ball will not do any trick here. The deck is a graveyard for the spinners who should stay away from bowling on the mat-wicket. The pacers have to be extremly precise in their line and lengths in order to be successful. The outfield gets quicker by the day and with short biundaries, batsmen have another reason to feel happy about their prospects.

Weather Prediction: The temperature will remain in the 20s with one or two passing showers with thunderstorms predicted. However the knockouts and the other matches shouldn't be affected as much. The rain gods have stayed put for the majority of the tournament, hopefully the trend continues same on Friday evening.

Expert Comment

Abhinav Singh

A showdown between two heavyweight teams who have been consistent throughout the league stage and the knockout stage of the tournament. With everthing to play for on the cards here. Both teams will be raring to go and lay down their hands upon the coveted silverware trophy. NCC boasts of several match winners like Khalid Azizi in its fray . DIC side has not lost any match up until now and they will be looking to continue their fairy tale run by winning the all important final too.

It's me, Mohamed Farzan and my colleague, Nikhil Kulkarni signing off. That’s it for the day! Hope you enjoyed our live coverage of the finals. Will meet you guys very soon until then Good Bye!

Congratulations to Nacka CC for being crowned as the champions of European Cricket League 2020!

Here we come to end of a one-sided final of the ECS T10 Stockholm Botkyrka Final between Nacka CC and Djurgardens IF Cricketforening. DIC were way too far away from winning this game.

After NCC were put in to bat first, they put up an above PAR score. We witnessed great batting knocks by openers Khalid Azizi and Sohail Zahid. Both missed their half-centuries by a few runs. Prashant Shukla broke their partnership in the 6th over and got the dangerous Omran Zazai for a golden duck. The batsmen continued to wreak havoc with their hitting ability and brought a total of 151 on the scoreboard. We saw a total of 27 boundaries (17 fours & 10 sixes) in the 1st innings.

Being asked to chase 152 runs from just 60 balls, DIC were completely depended on their openers as they have been performed excellently throughout the season. The openers failed to give the team a fierce start to chase the total which resulted in the team ending up on the losing side. The bowlers were a huge trouble for the team as they were seen struggling. Shahzed tried to boost up things for his team with a few big shots but it was too late to get things back on track

That's the end of the match. Djurgardens IF Cricketforening score 80 runs off their innings. Nacka CC win the match by 71 runs.
