Match Details

Odivelas Titans take on Santarém Stallions in Match 2 of the ECS Portugal, Battleborn Cup, 2026, part of the ECS competition and played in the fast-moving T10 format.

Head-to-Head: Santarém Stallions Have the Early Advantage

These two sides have met once before in ECN events, and it was Santarém Stallions who came out on top.

That gives the Stallions a 1-0 head-to-head lead over Odivelas Titans in ECN competition, a small sample size but still an important psychological edge heading into this clash. For Odivelas, this is a chance to level the rivalry; for Santarém, it is an opportunity to stretch their perfect record in this matchup.

Team Shape: Ratings Favour the Stallions

The overall player-rating picture also tilts toward Santarém Stallions.

Santarém come into this contest with an average player ECN rating of 84, slightly ahead of Odivelas Titans, whose average player ECN rating stands at 80. In a T10 match, that kind of squad-wide edge can matter, especially when small moments often decide the result.

The win outlook reflects that gap too. After normalising the supplied win chances to a full 100%, Santarém Stallions are rated at 68.7%, while Odivelas Titans stand at 31.3%.

Odivelas Titans: Rohit Sunam and Pinku Chahal Lead the Charge

For Odivelas Titans, Rohit Sunam is the key batting figure.

He carries an ECN batting rating of 94, with a batting average of 26.1 and a strike rate of 154.0. In T10 cricket, that strike rate gives Odivelas a player capable of moving the innings forward quickly, and they will need him to set the tone.

With the ball, Pinku Chahal is the standout name for Odivelas. He owns an ECN bowling rating of 99, the highest individual rating mentioned for this match, and pairs that with a bowling economy of 6.1. That economy is a major asset in the T10 format, where controlling runs can be just as valuable as taking wickets.

Santarém Stallions: Kamrul Islam Brings Serious Batting Firepower

Santarém Stallions’ batting threat is led by Kamrul Islam, and his numbers are eye-catching.

Kamrul has an ECN batting rating of 98, a batting average of 43.75, and a strike rate of 186.0. Those figures give Santarém a clear attacking spearhead, and his combination of average and scoring speed is one of the biggest reasons the Stallions look strong on paper.

Their leading bowling option is Vicky Chouhan, who comes in with an ECN bowling rating of 98 and a bowling economy of 7.1. While Odivelas have the slightly stronger economy through Pinku Chahal, Vicky’s rating keeps Santarém highly competitive with the ball.

The Verdict: Santarém Stallions Should Win

Santarém Stallions should win this match.

They already lead the ECN head-to-head 1-0, they have the stronger average player ECN rating at 84 compared to Odivelas Titans’ 80, and their top batter Kamrul Islam brings a powerful profile with a 43.75 average and 186.0 strike rate.

Odivelas Titans do have a serious weapon in Pinku Chahal, whose 99 bowling rating and 6.1 economy could keep them in the fight. But across the matchup, the evidence favours Santarém Stallions: better win projection, better squad rating, the previous head-to-head win, and a top batter in excellent statistical shape.
