With the bat, Shoaib Rehman looks like the player Madrid United must plan around. He comes in with an ECN rating of 98, a batting average of 67.33, and a remarkable strike rate of 311.0. In T10 cricket, that kind of scoring speed can change the tone of a match in a matter of overs.
With the ball, Rakesh Tiwari gives Madrid Blues another major point of difference. He also carries an ECN rating of 98, and his bowling economy of 6.0 stands out strongly in a format where containment can be just as valuable as wickets.
Those two numbers — Rehman’s strike rate of 311.0 and Tiwari’s economy of 6.0 — are exactly the kind of extremes that can tilt a short-format contest.
Madrid United: Waheed Akhtar and Omer Malik Hold the Key
Madrid United have their own match-shaping players.
Waheed Akhtar is their top batting figure, with an ECN rating of 98, a batting average of 52.06, and a strike rate of 192.0. Those are strong T10 credentials, and Madrid United will look to him to give their innings both stability and speed.
Omer Malik is the bowling name to watch for Madrid United. He has an ECN rating of 96, while his bowling economy stands at 10.9. Against a Madrid Blues batting unit led by Shoaib Rehman, Malik’s spell could become one of the most important passages of the match.
The Verdict: Madrid Blues to Edge It
This is a tight call, and the head-to-head record proves why: two ECN meetings, one win apiece.
But Madrid Blues should win this one.
The reasons are clear. Their average ECN player rating of 82 is higher than Madrid United’s 77, their adjusted win probability is slightly ahead at 50.5% to 49.5%, and their key-player numbers carry the sharper edge. Shoaib Rehman’s batting average of 67.33 and strike rate of 311.0 give Madrid Blues explosive scoring power, while Rakesh Tiwari’s economy of 6.0 provides control with the ball.
Madrid United have serious threats in Waheed Akhtar and Omer Malik, but on the available numbers, Madrid Blues look just better equipped to win this ECS Spain, Madrid Encore, 2026 clash at La Elipa.
