Match Details
Hope take on Fearless in Final of the ECS-W Pink Lady, 2026, part of the ECS-W competition, with the action set for the Regensburg Cricket Ground in Regensburg, Germany.
The T10 clash begins at 12:20 UTC / 14:20 CEST / 17:50 IST on Sunday 27 September 2026.
Head-to-Head: Hope Hold the Advantage
There is already some ECN history between these two sides, and it belongs entirely to Hope.
Hope and Fearless have met two times in ECN events, and Hope have won both of those matches. Fearless are still searching for their first ECN win in this matchup, while Hope come in with a perfect 2-0 head-to-head record.
That history gives this contest an extra layer: Fearless have a chance to flip the script, but Hope know they have already found a formula that works against this opponent.
Hope: Strong Ratings and a Tight Bowling Edge
Hope arrive with an average player ECN rating of 69, which gives them a stronger overall profile than Fearless on the numbers.
Their key batter is Andrea-Mae Zepeda, who carries an ECN rating of 93. She has a batting average of 25.38 and scores at a strike rate of 123.0, giving Hope a reliable and quick-scoring presence in the T10 format.
With the ball, Ashi Chopla stands out as Hope’s top bowler. Her ECN rating is an excellent 96, and her bowling economy of 5.3 is a major factor in Hope’s favour. In a short-format match where every run matters, that kind of control can be decisive.
Fearless: Ameya Kanukuntla Leads the Charge
Fearless come in with an average player ECN rating of 61, so they trail Hope slightly in overall squad rating. But they do have a standout performer in Ameya Kanukuntla, who features prominently in both batting and bowling.
As Fearless’ top batter, Ameya has an ECN rating of 90, a batting average of 33.0, and a strike rate of 106.0. That average is a strong point for Fearless and makes her central to their hopes of challenging Hope.
Ameya is also Fearless’ top bowler, with an ECN rating of 93 and a bowling economy of 5.4. That makes her the key all-round figure in this contest, especially as Fearless look to break Hope’s head-to-head hold over them.
Win Probability: Hope in Front
The win probabilities also lean towards Hope. Adjusted proportionally so the two sides total exactly 100%, Hope are rated at 69.7%, while Fearless sit at 30.3%.
That gap reflects Hope’s perfect head-to-head record in ECN events, their stronger average player rating, and the narrow but important bowling economy edge through Ashi Chopla.
The Verdict: Hope Should Win
Hope should win this match.
The case is clear: they have won two out of two ECN meetings against Fearless, they hold the higher average player ECN rating at 69 compared to Fearless’ 61, and their top bowler Ashi Chopla brings a superior ECN rating of 96 with a slightly better economy of 5.3.
Fearless have a genuine match-winner in Ameya Kanukuntla, whose batting average of 33.0 and bowling economy of 5.4 make her their biggest threat. But with Andrea-Mae Zepeda striking at 123.0 and Hope already owning this matchup historically, Hope look best placed to take Final of the ECS-W Pink Lady, 2026.
