Match Details
Madrid CC face Madrid United in Match 6 of the ECS Spain, Madrid Encore, 2026, with the action set for Tuesday 20 October 2026 at La Elipa in Madrid, Spain.
The T10 clash starts at 09:00 UTC / 11:00 CEST / 14:30 IST, putting two closely matched squads into the spotlight early in the day.
Head-to-Head: Madrid CC Just Ahead
There is already a solid ECN history between these two sides. Madrid CC and Madrid United have met 7 times in ECN events, and Madrid CC hold the narrow advantage with 4 wins to Madrid United’s 3.
That one-match gap gives Madrid CC the bragging rights for now, but it also tells the bigger story: this rivalry has been extremely competitive. Madrid United know a win here would pull them level in the head-to-head record, while Madrid CC have the chance to stretch their lead.
Ratings Point to a Fine Margin
The team ratings are almost impossible to separate. Madrid CC come in with an average ECN player rating of 76, while Madrid United are just behind on 75.
That tiny difference fits the feel of this matchup perfectly. There is no huge gap between the sides on paper, and in the T10 format, where momentum can swing in just a few overs, that makes every over feel crucial.
The win probabilities also reflect how tight this one looks. Adjusted to total exactly 100%, Madrid CC are given a 52.5% chance, with Madrid United at 47.5%. It is an edge, but only just.
Key Batters to Watch
Madrid CC’s standout batting name is Prabin Bensam, and his numbers are eye-catching. He carries an ECN batting rating of 98, averages 73.33, and scores at a strike rate of 208.0.
Those are serious T10 credentials. If Prabin gets going, Madrid CC have the kind of batter who can shape the match very quickly.
Madrid United have their own top-class batting threat in Waheed Akhtar. He also owns an ECN batting rating of 98, matching Prabin on that front, and brings a batting average of 53.88 with a strike rate of 193.0.
That sets up a brilliant batting comparison: Prabin has the higher average and strike rate, while Waheed gives Madrid United a proven top-order force of their own.
Bowling Battle: Rasool’s Economy Stands Out
With the ball, Madrid CC will look to Utkarsh Bhatt, who leads their attack with an ECN bowling rating of 97. His bowling economy is 13.7, and in a T10 game, his ability to deliver key overs could be central to Madrid CC’s chances.
For Madrid United, Muhammad Rasool is the bowler to watch. He carries an ECN bowling rating of 96 and has a bowling economy of 10.5.
That economy figure gives Madrid United an important point of difference. While Utkarsh has the slightly higher ECN bowling rating, Rasool’s tighter economy could be a major weapon if Madrid United are trying to slow down Prabin Bensam and the Madrid CC batting unit.
The Verdict
Madrid United have clear match-winners, especially with Waheed Akhtar rated 98 with the bat and Muhammad Rasool offering control with an economy of 10.5. They are close enough in the team ratings, sitting at 75 compared to Madrid CC’s 76, to make this a genuine contest.
But the pick is Madrid CC to win.
The reasons are clear: they lead the ECN head-to-head 4-3, their average player rating is marginally higher, and Prabin Bensam’s batting numbers — an average of 73.33 and strike rate of 208.0 give them a powerful edge at the top. With a 52.5% win chance against Madrid United’s 47.5%, Madrid CC are only slight favourites, but they have just enough statistical advantage to be the call in this Madrid derby.
