REPORT: MATCHDAY 1 – Nacka lay down a marker with two comfortable wins at Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm

Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm kicked off on Monday under beautiful blue skies in sunny Sweden.

Nacka CC laid down a marker in the opening game by posting 166, easily the highest score of the day against Stockholm Tigers. Nacka’s batsmen consistently found the fence, with Khalid Azizi top scoring with 53 off 28, while Sohail Zahid (42) and Omran Zazai (39) both ran riot at scoring rates of exactly 300. In reply, Stockholm Tigers could not get anywhere near the target, but at least captain Faruk Ahmed got in some batting practise in the middle with 44 off 29 balls.

Nacka sit at the top of the group after carrying on their good work with a comfortable seven wicket win in the final game of the day against Saltsjöbaden CC. Bouyed by Lemar Momand’s three wickets, Nacka were able to restrict Saltsjöbaden to a manageable 87, despite Khurshed Alam’s impressive unbeaten 53 off 30 balls. In reply, Nacka dipped to 41-3 just over half way, but Samiullah Rahmani and Zabi Zahid saw Nacka to their second straight win without too much fuss.

The youngsters of Alba Zalmi put in a good performance to overcome Spånga United CC in the second game of the day. Spånga’s skipper Faisal Azeem let loose in a blistering start with 34 off 13 balls, but a total of 89 was a little disappointing considering the early blitz. In reply, Alby Zalmi U23 were always ahead of the run rate with Zabihullah Niazy and Ismail Zia doing most of the damage.

Next up, Stockholm Super Kings met Stockholm International in a derby. Winning the toss and batting first, Shyam Balasubramanian provided the impetus at the top of the order with 42 as the Super Kings posted a competitive 81. In reply, Praveen Marani, Charles Samuel and Venkat Natarajan all took a couple of wickets to stall the Stockholm International innings at a disappointing 60.

Going in search of back to back wins, Stockholm Super Kings met Djurgårdens IF Cricketförening, but came up short.

Again batting first, the Super Kings only mustered 68 with Serge Conein the pick of the bowlers with 2-13. In reply, Djurgårdens IF Cricketförening coasted home with 7 balls to spare on the back of useful contributions from Ankit Dubey, Daniel Nissila and Richie Robbins.

Tune in to the live action Tuesday on ecn.cricket from 10am CEST * 9am UK * 8am GMT * 1:30pm IST for five more matches from the Karsby Cricket Center in the city of Stockholm, Sweden.
