ECS T10 Stockholm Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

The Stockholm Tigers (STT) will take on Botkyrka (BOT) in the first quarter-final of the ECS T10 Stockholm 2022 matches at the Norsborg Cricket Ground in Stockholm on Friday.

Botkyrka had a decent group stage, finishing second behind Alby Zalmi in Group A. The likes of Shani Khawaja and Zeeshan Mahmood have been decent, chipping in with valuable contributions at the time of need.

However, they face a tricky test against Stockholm Tigers, who have blown hot and cold in this tournament. With four wins in eight games, the Tigers gave a good account of themselves although they will need to be at their best against a strong Botkyrka side.

With a place in the semi-final in the offing, an intriguing game beckons in Stockholm.

Pitch Report

The pitch is a decent batting track with little help available for the bowlers. While the new ball should do a bit early on, the batters will look to attack the square boundaries and maximize the powerplay phase. There could be a hint of inconsistent bounce, with the spinners also getting some help in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first and put some runs on the board with 90-100 being a good total at this venue.
