ECS-W Estonia, 2026: EKL United sweep the day in Tallinn

ECS-W Estonia, 2026 packed three completed T10 matches into one lively day at the Estonian Cricket Field in Tallinn on Sunday 16 August 2026. EKL United led the way against Saaremaa, finishing with the most match wins after taking all 3.

Across the event, the numbers told a crisp story: 381 runs, 16 dismissals, no Maximos, and plenty of value in smart running, disciplined bowling, and sharp fielding.

The tournament in numbers

The ECS-W Estonia, 2026 was a completed ECS-W clubs event staged in Estonia, with Tallinn’s Estonian Cricket Field hosting the action on Sunday 16 August 2026. It was a Senior Womens T10 competition featuring 2 teams: EKL United and Saaremaa.

Across three matches of action, the event produced 381 runs at an average of 6.7 runs per over. That worked out to 0.86 runs per ball, or 86.0 runs per 100 balls, giving the day a steady scoring rhythm rather than a six-hitting shootout.

Wickets were also a regular part of the story. There were 16 dismissals overall, with wickets falling at 2.8 per ten overs and batters averaging 23.8 runs per dismissal. Dot balls made up 0.48 of deliveries — a major factor in keeping the scoring rate in check.

Teams setting targets found it tough going, with batting first leading to success just 33% of the time. The day’s results leaned toward the chase, and EKL United made that count in style.

EKL United take control

EKL United were the standout side of ECS-W Estonia, 2026, winning the most matches with 3 victories. Their strongest chase came in Match 3, when they reached 74 to beat Saaremaa by 9 wickets with 4 balls to spare.

That chase also produced the highest team total of the event: 74-1 in 9 overs by EKL United against Saaremaa in Match 3. Earlier, EKL United had shown they could defend as well, beating Saaremaa by 15 runs after defending 66 in Match 1.

One of the sharpest bursts of scoring came from EKL United too, with 16 runs coming in the 10th over of Match 1 against Saaremaa — the most productive over of the event.

Batting: Leah Martin leads the run charts

Leah Martin was the leading run-scorer of ECS-W Estonia, 2026, making 43 runs for EKL United across 3 matches. In a compact tournament where every innings mattered, that was enough to top the batting list.

The highest individual score belonged to Geethma Madanayake, who made an unbeaten 29 from 26 balls for EKL United against Saaremaa in Match 3. In a low-Maximo event — in fact, a no-Maximo event — that kind of composed innings carried major value.

There were 19 fours across the event, producing 76 runs. Those runs from fours made up a 0.2 share of total scoring, effectively 20%, while the fours rate sat at 3.3 per ten overs.

And the Maximo column? Empty from start to finish. No Maximos were hit in ECS-W Estonia, 2026, leaving the overall Maximo count at 0. The Maximo rate per ten overs was 0.0, balls per Maximo was 0.0, and the batter Maximo count also remained at 0.

Their top score was 21 from 21 balls for EKL United against Saaremaa on Sunday 16 August 2026.

Aswathy M’s batting Maximo numbers also reflected the event trend: 0 Maximos hit, a Maximo rate of 0.0 per ten overs, 0 runs in fours, and a top match Maximo tally of 0. Their player profile for the event lists 1 player event played and national team status as Yet to Play.

Fielding: Leah Martin everywhere

Leah Martin’s influence went well beyond runs. Alongside topping the batting charts with 43 runs, they were also the leading fielder, completing 3 dismissals for EKL United across 3 matches — 2 catches and 1 run out.

Leah Martin also topped the keeper category with 1 dismissal in 3 matches, made up of 0 catches as wicketkeeper, 0 stumpings, and 1 run out. In a short-format event with tight margins, those fielding contributions mattered.
