ECB Blues vs Ajman, Emirates D10 League
Table-topping ECB Blues will look to make it four wins in a row when they take on Ajman in the Emirates T10 tournament. The match takes place at the ICC Academy, Dubai, on July 26 and the live action starts at 18:00 local time.
ECB Blues have already beaten Dubai – albeit courtesy of boundary countback after a tie – as well as Team Abu Dhabi and Sharjah in far more convincing circumstances. They are packed with international talent, with Chirag Suri, Vriitya Aravind and Muhammad Usman among those to have impressed so far.
Ajman, on the other hand, have lost two from two so far. They have fallen too far below par with the bat in both games so far, being unable to defend 98/8 against Abu Dhabi and faring little better after posting 104/4 against Dubai last time out.

ECB Team News
Sultan Ahmed is the only big name not to have featured so far, with ECB Blues packed with international talent. Matiullah Khan replaced Muhammad Ayaz last time out but changes have been kept to a minimum.
ECB Key Players
- Rohan Mustafa: Scored 30 and 26 in his last two innings at the top of the order and he bowls well too, keeping things tidy last time out.
- Chirag Suri: Showed why he has earned franchise deals before now when he smashed 81 in the win against Abu Dhabi.
- Vriitya Aravind: Started the tournament in fine form, scoring 83* and the young wicket-keeper-batsman is a dangerous pinch-hitter at number three.
ECB Team Form
Vriitya Aravind hit 83* as ECB Blues hit 126/3 in the opening game against Dubai only to concede 126/4 – the match eventually settled on boundary countback. Chirag Suri then scored 81 in the second game but this time ECB Blues defended their big total to win comfortably.
Last time out, Muhammad Usman top-scored with 45* in a total of 112/5 against Sharjah and they restricted Sharjah to 96/6 in reply.

AAD Team News
Ajman showed they are not afraid to make changes but they could not get off the mark last time out either. Ameer Hamza’s batting should seem him pushed up the order this time and Amjad Gul Khan is another who could move up.
AAD Key Players
- Abdul Shakoor: A tidy start with the bat for the wicket-keeper-batsman, who has hit 20 and 22. He is on the fringes of the national team.
- Amir Hamza: Hammered 42* from 14 balls and then took a wicket last time out too to prove what he can offer. He should move back up the order as a result.
- Sapandeep Singh: Scored too slowly last time out, but the tempo he set in the first game showed what he can do up the order.
AAD Team Form
Twice now Ajman have set a target that their opponents only needed eight overs to chase down. Against Abu Dhabi, 98/8 was not enough, while against Dubai it was 104/4 that still resulted in defeat – even after Ameer Hamza and Omer Farooq plundered 20 runs off the final five balls of the innings.
Ajman Predicted Playing 11
Sapandeep Singh, Syed Haider Shah, Ameer Hamza, Abdul Shakoor (wk), Sandy Sandeep, Omer Farooq, Amjad Gul Khan, Mohammad Azhar, Nasir Aziz (c), Hamad Arshad, Shareef Asadullah
🏆 ECB Blues vs Ajman Prediction
ECB Blues have started in the good form expected of them. They are favourites to win this one.
