Mitchell O’Connor should return to the team after sitting out the two games on their most recent day of action. The opening batsmen is a senior player and key figure in this team.
DIC Key Players
- Mitchell O’Connor: Key with the bat in the second game, he has not played since but his batting before then and in T20 cricket proves his worth.
- Richard Robbins: In three innings so far, he has scored 20, 23 and then, last time out, 49* from 31 balls to prove his worth at the top of the order.
- Serge Conein: Took 3-7 against Varmdo, including a double-wicket maiden to start the innings, in the pick of an impressive bowling performance throughout the group stage.
DIC Team Form
Djurgardens won three from four and it would have been a clean sweep had they not been halted by the rain after reducing Varmdo CC to 32/8 – Serge Conein claiming 3-7. They recovered from that setback to seal top spot, however, as they restricted Stockholm International CC to 72/7 on their way to an eight-wicket win.

Saltsjobaden Team News & Playing 11
SCC Team News
Saltsjobaden have generally gone for consistency with very few changes so far. Anas Tanveer or Aftab Ahmad appears to be the main decision they need to make.
SCC Key Players
- Faheem Shah: Excellent batting in game three shows why he is at the top of the order and more performances like that one will be important.
- Shah Zeb: Finished up his group stage with two more wickets to cap a decent effort with the ball across the four games. He also hit 18* from ten balls last time out.
- Khurshed Alam: Excellent batting and bowling form so far – albeit he was expensive in the most recent game – and he has been a key all-rounder.
SCC Team Form
Saltsjobaden go into this match on the back of three consecutive wins – they saw off Alby Zalmi most recently, posting 93/7 in a ten-run win to finish second in the group. It was the perfect response to what proved to be their only defeat, which came in their first match against eventual group winners Nacka CC.
🏆 Djurgardens IF vs Saltsjobaden Prediction
Djurgardens IF Cricketforening were in strong form in the group stage and deserve a place in the final.
