The final day of league fixtures in the ECS T10 Stockholm League is all set to begin as Alby Zalmi CC and Indiska CC face off in a virtual knockout game. Although both teams started off with a win on the opening day, they find themselves in the middle of the points table.
Indiska CC, who won a nail-biting game against Stockholm CC in Game 1, have four points to their credit so far. They come into this game on the back of a disheartening loss to Pakistanska Foreningen and will be looking to overcome the disappointment with a solid performance.
On the other hand, Alby Zalmi, refreshed after a day off, have three points from their three games, although that doesn't tell the complete story. While they did finish second best to a dominant Kista CC, Alby Zalmi posted the highest score of the tournament in their campaign opener against Stockholm Mumbai Indians on Monday.
Despite finding themselves below Indiska on the points table, they are the firm favourites heading into this game.

Pitch Report
Another relatively high scoring game is on the cards between Alby Zalmi CC and Indiska CC. Both teams have the firepower to make use of the conditions, although they will have to wary of the odd ball keeping low.
Changes of pace will be key on this surface with the outfield also being on the slower side. Batting first would be the preferred option, with 80-85 being a competitive total at the Marsta Cricket Club.
