European Cricket Series Barcelona provides an opportunity for 16 Catalonian teams to showcase their skills at the Montjuic Cricket Ground (MCG) adjacent to the 1992 Olympic baseball venue. Badalona Shaheen CC, Bengali CC, Catalunya CC, Catalunya Tigers CC, Falco CC, Fateh CC, Hira CC Sabadell, Joves Units CC, Gracia CC, Hawks CC, Kings CC, Men in Blue CC, Pak Montcada CC, Pakcelona CC, Raval Sporting CC and United CC Girona contest four matches a day, over three weeks culminating in 60 exciting T10 matches. Every game will be 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.
United CC Girona and Bangladesh Kings became the first sides into the European Cricket Series Barcelona semi-finals.
United CC Girona thrashed Fateh to seal their spot in the last four. Syed Shafaat Ali (53) scored over half of the United’s 92, before Sumair Safdar Khan bamboozled the batsmen with 5-9, while Syed Faisal Hussain took 3-3 as United dismantled Fateh for only 35 – the lowest team score in European Cricket Series history.
And Bangladesh Kings joined United in the semi-finals with a couple of resounding victories. Saqib Muhammad steered Kings home against Pakcelona, blasting 33 off 18 balls after bagging a couple of wickets.
Next up, Tahed Ahmed, Hussain Aminul and Shahedur Rahman all captured two wickets a piece as Kings restricted Hawks to 82. Kings all-time leading run scorer Jubed Miah made the chase look easy with an unbeaten 40 off 22 balls.
Fateh’s batters recovered from their nightmare against United to post a round 100 against Badalona Shaheen with that man Happy Singh again leading the way with 41. With their semi-final hopes in tatters, a somewhat demoralised Badalona side could only limp to 85, meaning Kings had done enough earlier in the day.
