Match Context

Zurich Mavericks Garhwal take on Sports Club Roche in Match 4 of the ECS Switzerland, Zurich, 2026, with the action set for Sunday 2 August 2026 at Embrach Cricket Ground in Embrach, Switzerland.

The match starts at 07:30 UTC / 09:30 CEST / 13:00 IST, and with the T10 format in play, every over should matter from the very first ball.

On paper, Sports Club Roche carry a slight overall edge. Their average ECN player rating sits at 81, compared with Zurich Mavericks Garhwal’s 72, giving Roche the stronger squad profile heading into this ECS contest.

Head-to-Head: A First-Ever ECN Meeting

There is no past ECN history between Zurich Mavericks Garhwal and Sports Club Roche.

That makes this the first-ever meeting between the two sides in ECN events, so there is no old dominance, no revenge angle, and no previous result to lean on. It is a clean slate and in T10 cricket, that often makes the opening exchanges even more fascinating.

Zurich Mavericks Garhwal: Khogiani Sher Brings Serious Firepower

For Zurich Mavericks Garhwal, the standout batting name is Khogiani Sher, and his numbers demand attention.

Sher comes in with an excellent ECN rating of 99, making him Zurich Mavericks Garhwal’s top-rated batter. His batting average of 37.47 gives the side reliability, while his strike rate of 277.0 suggests he can shift a T10 match in a hurry.

With such a powerful scoring profile, Sher looks like the key figure if Zurich Mavericks Garhwal are to overcome the overall rating gap between the teams.

With the ball, Malyar Stanikzai is Zurich Mavericks Garhwal’s leading option. He carries an ECN bowling rating of 95 and has a bowling economy of 10.1, giving Zurich Mavericks Garhwal a strong bowling presence in a format where control can be just as valuable as wicket-taking threat.

Sports Club Roche: Tharanitharan Thanabalasingham Leads Both Ways

Sports Club Roche have a major all-round storyline through Tharanitharan Thanabalasingham.

He is their top batter, with an ECN batting rating of 75, a batting average of 13.5, and a strike rate of 150.0. Those numbers give Roche a clear batting focal point, especially in a T10 match where quick scoring can define the contest.

But Thanabalasingham’s influence does not stop there. He is also Sports Club Roche’s top bowler, carrying an outstanding ECN bowling rating of 96. His bowling economy is 13.1, and while that figure shows runs can come, his rating still places him as Roche’s leading bowling weapon.

That dual role could be crucial. If Thanabalasingham contributes with both bat and ball, Sports Club Roche will have a strong route to controlling the match.

Key Battle: Sher vs Thanabalasingham

The headline contest feels obvious: Khogiani Sher against Tharanitharan Thanabalasingham.

Sher’s batting profile is the most explosive individual batting package in the match, with that 99 ECN rating, 37.47 average, and blistering 277.0 strike rate.

Thanabalasingham, though, is Sports Club Roche’s central figure. As their top batter and top bowler, with a 96 bowling rating and 75 batting rating, he carries major responsibility in both innings.

If Sher gets going, Zurich Mavericks Garhwal can put Sports Club Roche under pressure quickly. If Thanabalasingham can limit his impact and then add runs of his own Roche’s chances rise sharply.
