Nacka CC successfully nailed it every step of the way this week and ran out deserved Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm Champions.

REPORT: Nacka nail Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm title

In the opening game of the tournament, Nacka racked up what proved to be the highest score of Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm, and carried on in similar fashion throughout to remain unbeaten. In fact, Nacka never looked like tasting defeat at any stage.

The final against another unbeaten side, Djurgårdens IF Cricketförening, looked a tricky task on paper. But batting first, Nacka did not hold back, bashing a mammoth 151. Prashant Shukla did manage to stem the flow of runs with a couple of quick wickets, but the damage had already been done as Nacka motored to 82 inside six overs. Khalid Azizi 46 off 21, Sohail Zahid 43 off 16 and skipper Zabi Zahid 28 off 9 were able to find the boundary with ease. In reply, three wickets from Muhammad Nawaz and two miserly overs from Zabi Zahid (1/8) were able to contain the Djurgårdens’s batsmen, who never looked like coming anywhere near the target.

 

Djurgårdens had done well to reach the final in the first place by serenely easing past Saltsjöbaden CC in the second semi-final. Batting first after winning the toss, only Saltsjöbaden’s Arslan Ali was able to get on top of the varied Djurgårdens bowling line up with 38 off 24. Liam Karlsson was the pick of the bowlers with 2-13. In reply, with the threat of rain and thunderstorms lurking, and Messrs Duckworth Lewis Stern doing press ups in the changing rooms, the Djurgårdens openers decided to get a hurry on. Mitch O’Connor obliterated the attack to all parts with 62 off 32 balls. Richie Robbins was happy to play second fiddle with 19 off 13 balls as Djurgårdens strolled to victory with 15 balls to spare for no loss.

In the first semi, Märsta motored off to a blistering start against Nacka with the prolific Waqas Haider (61 off 31) and Dream11 MVP Hamid Mehmood putting on 80 in six overs.

Considering the start, a total of 110 might be considered a little disappointing. In reply, Nacka fell behind the asking rate early but never panicked. Turning on the turbo after the halfway mark, Khalid Azizi blazed 50 off 27 balls with Samiullah Rahmani applying the finishing touches with 33 off just 10 balls to go with his useful bowling spell.

In the Shield Final, Stockholm Super Kings eased past Spånga United. Bhargav Mahesh barged the Super Kings total up to 96 with 44 off 28 balls. In reply, Spånga subsided to 57 all out to slip to a 39 run defeat – a whopping margin in T10 cricket.
