In the third game on Thursday in the ECS T10 Stockholm League 2020, Alby Zalmi CC take on Sigtuna CC in what promises to be an entertaining match in Stockholm. Both teams are firmly in contention for a semi-final spot going into this game.
Sigtuna CC are well positioned on the points table with three wins out of four games. Although they did lose to Pakistanska Foreningen on Wednesday, they will consider themselves the favourites against an Alby Zalmi CC side that has three points in their three games.
With the likes of Azam Khalil and Farhan Chaudhry in their roster, Alby Zalmi CC should prove to be a tough opponent for Sigtuna CC as both teams look to seal their spot in the top four.

Pitch Report
Despite this being the third game of the day, the pitch shouldn't change too much with 80-85 being highly competitive at the Marsta Cricket Club.
While the batsman should have the bigger say in the outcome of the game, they will have to overcome the slow outfield and lack of bounce to really get going.
There isn't much turn on offer for the spinners, unlike the pacers who should get some early movement with the new ball.
