Alby Zalmi U-23 vs Saltsjobaden CC, ECS T10 League - Stockholm
Saltsjobaden are in an excellent position to seal the fourth and final semi-final place at the Dream 11 ECS Botkyrka, Stockholm T10 tournament as they conclude the group stage with their match against Alby Zalmi U-23s. The game takes place at the Karsby Cricket Centre, Stockholm, on July 9 and the live action starts at 18:00 local time.
Saltsjobaden go into the game on the back of consecutive wins and four points in total, most recently seeing off Spanga United to put themselves firmly in control of their own destiny in their bid to finish second in Group A. Their only defeat was against tablet-topping Nacka CC in their opening game.
Alby Zalmi U-23s, meanwhile, won their opening game – also against Spanga United – but their hopes of replicating their senior teams’ run to the semi-finals of an ECS T10 tournament now hang by a thread after they lost both games since. A heavy defeat to Nacka last time out means only a big win will see them leapfrog Saltsjobaden and snatch the final play-off place.
