Head-to-Head: Pak I Care Badalona Have the Edge

Team Balance: Nothing Between Them on Average Rating
One of the most intriguing parts of this contest is how evenly matched the squads look overall. Sporting Alfas have an average player ECN rating of 84, and Pak I Care Badalona match them exactly with an average player ECN rating of 84.
That means the difference may come down to the headline performers — and both teams have serious names to watch.
Sporting Alfas: Naeem Nisar and Zain Raja Lead the Charge
For Sporting Alfas, Naeem Nisar is the key batting figure. He comes in with a superb ECN rating of 99, backed by a batting average of 64.8 and a strike rate of 164.0.
Those numbers make him a major threat in T10 cricket: reliable enough to build an innings, but quick enough to put pressure on the opposition from the start.
With the ball, Sporting Alfas look to Zain Raja. He is also rated 99 by ECN and brings an excellent bowling economy of 6.5. In a T10 match, that kind of control is gold dust, and his duel with Pak I Care Badalona’s power hitters could shape the game.
Pak I Care Badalona: Muhammad Ihsan Brings the Firepower
Pak I Care Badalona’s top batting weapon is Muhammad Ihsan, who carries an ECN rating of 98. His batting average stands at 41.35, but the eye-catching number is his strike rate of 253.0.
That level of scoring speed is exactly why Pak I Care Badalona will feel they can take control quickly. If Muhammad Ihsan gets going, Sporting Alfas may need something special from Zain Raja and the rest of the attack to slow him down.
Asad Rabbani is Pak I Care Badalona’s key bowler, rated 96 by ECN. His bowling economy is 11.0, and in a format where every over can be attacked, his ability to make timely breakthroughs could matter just as much as containment.
Win Probability and Prediction
Sporting Alfas have real individual quality: Naeem Nisar’s 99 rating, 64.8 average and 164.0 strike rate make him a huge batting threat, while Zain Raja’s 99 rating and 6.5 economy give them a genuine bowling edge.
But Pak I Care Badalona have the stronger case overall. They lead the ECN head-to-head 2-0, carry the higher win probability, and have a game-changing batter in Muhammad Ihsan striking at 253.0.
Prediction: Pak I Care Badalona to beat Sporting Alfas. Their head-to-head dominance and explosive batting edge should be enough to get them over the line in Match 3 of the ECN Spanish Championship Weekend, 2026.
