ECN Czech Super Series - a new, exciting T10 competition with a total of 40 high-octane T10 matches continues this weekend at the beautiful Brno Cricket Ground (BCG) in the Czech Republic. ECN Czech Super Series features 16 teams in a series of four tournaments, the winners of each series will advance to Finals Day next weekend in the Czech capital Prague on July 11 & 12.

REPORT: MATCHDAY 1 – WEEK 4 – ECN CZECH SUPER SERIES

Brno Rangers look the team to beat following two convincing victories as Week four of the ECN Czech Super Series got underway under sunny skies in Brno, Czech Republic.

Opener Somesekhar Banerjee led the way with 33 as the Rangers successfully defended 72 against the Brno Raptors. Tripurari Kanhya Lal took a couple of wickets and added valuable late runs for the Rangers and was adjudged Player of the Match. Only Muhammad Ansar reached double figures for the Raptors who fell a disappointing 17 runs short.

Rangers followed up by chasing down the Brno Raiders target of 62 with 10 balls to spare. Sandeep Tiwari was the pick of the Rangers bowlers with a couple of wickets. Czech national team wicket keeper Ushan Gunathilake, so impressive behind the stumps, saw his side to a second straight win with an unbeaten 21 with the bat.

The opening game of the day saw a meeting of two Czech division two sides. Newcomers Moravian CC were skittled out for 27 in reply to Brno Raptors total of 96, who were indebted to Jan Hoffmann’s 38 at the top of the order. In mild understatement, Moravian CC didn’t make the ideal start, losing wickets to the first two balls, leaving opening bowler Suresh Ramaro on a hat-trick. Sandeep Naidu also bagged three wickets for the Raptors in a comfortable win.

Moravian CC bravely elected to bat in their next game against the Brno Raiders - and more than doubled their score to a total of 55. Aamir Husain took a couple of wickets and held the Raiders reply together until being dismissed with the target in sight for 32.

Looking ahead to Sunday, Brno Rangers will be expected to beat winless Moravian CC first up, meaning the Raptors and Raiders will probably meet twice in successive games on Sunday to establish the Rangers opponents in the Final. But anything can happen in T10 cricket! Who will be the final qualifier from beautiful Brno?
