Madrid United vs Costa Del Sol, ECN Spanish Championship Weekend, 2026: First-Ever ECN Meeting Set for Alicante
Madrid United and Costa Del Sol meet in Match 4 of the ECN Spanish Championship Weekend, 2026, and there is extra intrigue because these two sides have never faced each other before in ECN events.

Match Context
Madrid United take on Costa Del Sol on Friday 30 October 2026 at the Sporting Alfas Cricket Club in Alicante, Spain.
This is Match 4 of the ECN Spanish Championship Weekend, 2026, with both the event competition and the match format set as T10. The game starts at 14:30 UTC / 15:30 CET / 20:00 IST, putting it right in a prime viewing window for fans across Europe and India.
Head-to-Head: A Brand-New Rivalry
There is no previous ECN history between Madrid United and Costa Del Sol.
That makes this the first-ever ECN meeting between the two teams, so there is no past dominance, no revenge angle, and no established pattern to lean on. It is a clean slate, which should make Match 4 even more fascinating as both sides get their first chance to set the tone in this matchup.
Madrid United: Raja and Malik Carry the Key Numbers
Madrid United arrive with an average player ECN rating of 76, but their top performers bring much stronger individual numbers.
Kamran Raja is the batter to watch. He holds an ECN rating of 94, and his batting record jumps off the page: an average of 36.33 and a strike rate of 245.0. In a T10 format where every delivery matters, that combination gives Madrid United a genuine attacking platform.
With the ball, Omer Malik leads the Madrid United numbers. He comes in with an ECN rating of 95 and a bowling economy of 11.5. Madrid will need his wicket-taking threat and control to disrupt a Costa Del Sol batting unit that has a dangerous headline performer of its own.
Costa Del Sol: Henshall and Williams Offer the Statistical Edge
Costa Del Sol hold the stronger overall average player ECN rating at 81, giving them a slight team-wide advantage over Madrid United’s 76.
Their biggest batting threat is Dylan Henshall. He carries an ECN rating of 98, a batting average of 52.54, and a strike rate of 247.0. Those numbers put him narrowly ahead of Kamran Raja on both strike rate and rating, while his average is also significantly higher.
Costa Del Sol also have a standout bowling figure in Matt Williams. His ECN rating of 99 is the highest individual rating highlighted for this match, and his bowling economy of 6.7 gives Costa Del Sol a major point of difference. In a T10 contest, that kind of economy can be match-shaping.
The Numbers Battle
This matchup looks tight, but Costa Del Sol have small advantages in several key areas.
Madrid United’s leading batter, Kamran Raja, strikes at 245.0, while Costa Del Sol’s Dylan Henshall is just ahead at 247.0. Raja averages 36.33, but Henshall’s average of 52.54 gives Costa Del Sol a clear batting edge at the top end.
The bowling comparison also leans Costa Del Sol’s way. Omer Malik’s ECN rating of 95 is strong for Madrid United, but Matt Williams sits higher at 99 for Costa Del Sol. Williams’ economy of 6.7 is also notably tighter than Malik’s 11.5.
The win probability is close too, but after proportional adjustment, Costa Del Sol come in at 51.5%, with Madrid United at 48.5%.
The Verdict: Costa Del Sol to Win
Madrid United have a real match-winner in Kamran Raja, and Omer Malik’s ECN rating gives them a strong bowling option. But Costa Del Sol look slightly better placed across the key numbers.
Dylan Henshall has the stronger batting average and strike rate, Matt Williams brings the top ECN rating in the match along with the better economy, and Costa Del Sol also hold the higher average player ECN rating as a squad.
Prediction: Costa Del Sol to beat Madrid United in their first-ever ECN meeting at the ECN Spanish Championship Weekend, 2026.
