Watan Zalmi are favourites to win
Linkoping CC meet Jonkoping CA/Watan Zalmi in the 3rd/4th-place play-off as they look to end the Dream 11 ECS Gothenburg T10 tournament on a high note. The match takes place at Kviberg, Gothenburg, and is scheduled to start at 15:00 local time.
After Linkoping started the tournament in excellent form, it has been downhill since. Three straight wins on day three, including seeing off Watan Zalmi, had set them up nicely but they lost all three games on day four and were beaten again by Seaside CC in the semi-final – falling short with the bat in both matches against Seaside.
Watan Zalmi finished third in the group, with three wins and two defeats, but crashed out in the semi-final against Jonkoping as they posted just 53 from their ten overs. It was a second consecutive defeat, having also lost to Linkoping in their final group game.

Saad Khan could be back up the batting order after being the only batsman to score quickly last time out. The tweak to the batting order for the semi-final did not pay off.
After winning all three games on day three, Linkoping have lost four in a row since. That includes consecutive defeats against Seaside CC, in the final group game and again in the semi-final, as they twice fell short chasing. Scores of 76/7, 66/1 and 75/5 in their three most recent innings highlight their poor form.

The dismal batting display in the semi-final defeat could prompt a rethink for the 3rd/4th-place play-off.
Watan Zalmi won three and lost two in the group stage but they fell well short with the bat in the semi-final to fall to a second consecutive loss. They were bowled out for 53 to fall to defeat to Jonkoping, having previously posted 85/3 against Linkoping in their final group game and lost that one too.

Linkoping CC’s form has dried up and, while they beat Watan Zalmi last time out, they may also miss out on third place if they can not arrest their slide in form.
