REPORT: MATCHDAY 1 – Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm

The closest game of the day came in the opening contest between Stockholm CC and Indiska CC as the Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm kicked off under beautiful blue skies in Sweden.

In a breath-taking finish, Stockholm’s Himanshu Patel was run out on the last ball of the innings, the second of two run outs in three balls, as Indiska snatched a precious victory by the narrowest of margins.

Next up, batting first after winning the toss, Sigtuna bat Muhammad Rehman’s matchwinning knock of 53 off 33 balls proved too much for Stockholm who slipped to a 34-run defeat and their second straight loss.

Again, making first use of the strip after winning the toss, Sigtuna posted 99 with Muhammad Rehman the main man once more with an unbeaten 46 off 27 balls. Indiska fell behind the scoring rate early in the piece and never threatened the target.

Two fresh teams entered the fray in match 4 as much-fancied Alby Zalmi took on Stockholm Mumbai Indians. Batting first, Alby Zalmi amassed the highest score of the Dream11 European Cricket Series Stockholm so far with 123 off 10 overs. Azam Khalil with 36 off 15 (5x4,2x6) and Faraan Chaudhry with 31 off 15 (4x4) were the main instigators of the carnage. In reply, Stockholm Mumbai Indians crawled to 44-7 off their allocation and a demoralising loss.

Things were not about to improve for Stockholm Mumbai Indians in their next game against Pakistanska Föreningen who rattled up 99 batting first.

Chasing another forlorn target, Stockholm Mumbai Indians improved on their first total but still slipped to another heavy loss. Two straight defeats leaves Stockholm Mumbai Indians with plenty to do on day 2 to claw their way back into the tournament.

Here's Vinny Sandhu "Mr Maximo" recapping the opening jousts and looking ahead to Day 2 in Sweden!
