Malmo T10 League 2020: Most runs, most wickets and points table until August 3 (Updated)

The Malmo T10 League 2020 had its first day of action on August 3, with the five teams from Group A playing a couple of matches each. The other five teams in Group B will have to wait a while to get into the swing of things as Day 2 would also see the matches featuring the Group A teams only.

Malmohus Cricket Club and Karlskrona Cricket Club are the early front-runners in Group A, with both the teams having won their two matches on the opening day. Malmohus Cricket Club occupy the top spot in the points table due to their superior net run rate.

While Malmohus Cricket Club defeated Evergreen Cricket Club and Helsingborg Royals Sports Club, Karlskrona Cricket Club got the better of Malmo Kings Cricket Club as well as Evergreen Cricket Club.

Malmo Kings Cricket Club are the only other team to have registered a win on the opening day of the Malmo T10 League 2020. They put it across Helsingborg Royals Sports Club in the opening match of the tournament but were on the receiving end against Karlskrona Cricket Club later in the day.

Evergreen Cricket Club and Helsingborg Royals Sports Club did not register a point on Day 1 of the Malmo T10 League 2020, losing both their matches with the latter placed last in the points table due to their inferior net run rate.

With two teams making it through to the semi-finals from each Group, August 4 would see some riveting action with the qualifiers from Group A being decided today.

Following are the team standings in Group A after the first day of matches in the Malmo T10 League 2020 -
