SOC vs MAR Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for ECS Malta 2020 Semi-final 2 – Dec 04, 2020

Southern Crusaders CC will take on Marsa CC in the second semi-final of the European Cricket Series (ECS) Malta 2020 tournament at the Marsa Sports Club in Malta. Both these teams have been inconsistent in the ECS but have managed to gain some momentum towards the back end of the league stage.

Southern Crusaders CC started the ECS tournament by winning four games on the bounce. However, they lost their way midway through the tournament by losing four in a row. They managed to get back to winning ways in their last two ECS games, where they recorded commanding wins to storm into the knockouts. Michael Goonetilleke and his men will be hoping to take that confidence into this ECS knockout fixture.

On the other hand, hosts Marsa CC also had a rousing start to their ECS campaign. Like Southern Crusaders, they were also unbeaten in their first four games (winning three and one no-result) in the ECS tournament.

However, like Southern Crusaders CC, even Marsa CC lost four games on the trot before pulling things back towards the end. The Haroon Mughal-led were one of the favourites at the start of the ECS competition but haven't really lived upto expectation. Nevertheless, they would hope to excel in the knockout games in the ECS and go all the way in the tournament.

Pitch Report

The 22-yard surface at the Marsa Sports Club in Malta in the ECS has been an excellent one to bat on. The average first innings score has been around 100 runs. The batsmen have made merry and racked up huge totals. More of the same could be expected in this game too, and another high-scoring encounter may well be on the cards.
