Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm - Seven teams are participating - Alby Zalmi CC, Indiska CC, Kista CC, Pakistanska Föreningen, Sigtuna CC, Stockholm CC and Stockholm Mumbai Indians in 25 high-octane T10 matches over five days in the Swedish capital Stockholm. Every game is live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.

REPORT: MATCHDAY 4 – Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm

Day four opened with the first of a triple header for Alby Zalmi, taking on Stockholm CC, who were looking to go out of the Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm on a high.

Batting first after winning the toss, Himanshu Patel again held the Stockholm innings together but a team total of 55 was never going to be enough. Alby Zalmi coasted to their target after only 4.5 overs for a resounding victory to kick off their busy day.

Alby Zalmi rattled up 98 in their next outing against Indiska, unusually in T10 cricket being bowled out with two balls remaining. Azam Khalil took advantage of a drop to motor to 36 off 19 balls to seal a second straight Player of the match award.

Indiska started brightly but subsided after losing dangerman Dipanjan Dey as Alby Zalmi comfortably racked up their second straight win of the day by 32 runs.

Going for a hat-trick of wins, Alby Zalmi restricted Sigtuna to a paltry 62, knocking them in a procession with 22 balls to spare to complete a successful day. Rahel Khan cruelly denied Azam Khalil his third straight player of the match prize with a blistering display with bat and ball.

Alby Zalmi will be looking to take that winning momentum into Friday’s semi-finals.

In similar fashion, Kista then began their three games for the day against Sigtuna who needed a win to be sure of a last four spot. Kista rattled up an impressive 105 which Sigtuna never threatened to leave their semi-final hopes in jeopardy.

Next up, Kista found Pakistanska Föreningen a much tougher proposition, only posting a disappointing 63 total. Despite some late wickets from Kista, Pakistanska Föreningen chased down the target with four balls to spare to remain unbeaten in the Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm.

In the last of six games on Thursday, Indiska knew they had to win to ensure a last four spot, while Kista could secure top spot with victory.

Batting first Indiska limped along to a modest 65, which, after a mid-innings wobble, Kista managed to scrape to from the penultimate ball.

As we look ahead to Finals Day Friday at the Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm, that tense victory leaves Kista top of the group standings by virtue of a superior net run rate over unbeaten Pakistanska Föreningen who had two games rained off. Alby Zalmi finished in third, having lost to Kista and also having one game fall foul of the elements. Sigtuna who beat all the teams that failed to qualify for the final stages finished a distant fourth.

So, the semi-final line up is Kista v Sigtuna at 10am CEST. Kista thrashed Sigtuna on Thursday and will be resounding favourites to repeat that success.

Pakistanska Föreningen against Alby Zalmi follows at midday CEST – a game that was rained off earlier in the week with the points shared. Unbeaten Pakistanska Föreningen have the more experienced outfit, while much will rest on the shoulders of Alby Zalmi’s talisman Azam Khalil.
