Match Details

The match 19 of ECS T10 Kiel 2021 will see 1.Kieler HTC locking horns with the First Contact at the Kiel Cricket Ground in Kiel.

This encounter will start at 4:30 PM IST, and the live streaming of this game will be available on FanCode.

Preview

Both sides have made contrasting starts to their campaign which makes 1.Kieler HTC firm favourites for this fixture. With four victories in six games, they are holding second place in the Group A team standings and would be raring to enhance their points tally even further. However, they narrowly lost to MTV Stallions on June 3, and it would be interesting to see how they bounce back.

On the other hand, First Contact have endured a difficult time in the tournament. They could manage just one win in five games and are holding the fourth and penultimate spot in the Group A points table. With the competition advancing towards its latter half, it’s high time for First Contact to buckle up, and they must put their best foot forward in the upcoming game.

Captaincy Picks

Chaitanya Pagadapoola

With 145 runs in six games, 1. Kieler HTC’s Chaitanya Pagadapoola is the leading run-scorer of ECS T10 Kiel 2021, and many eyes will be on him in this game. The right-handed batsman has scored runs consistently, and that too at a brilliant pace. Pagadapoola has a strike rate of over 170 in this competition, and the First Contact team must beware of him.

Danish Zahid

Pagadapoola’s teammate Danish Zahid has also been enjoying a great time in the tournament. The right-arm pacer has picked wickets constantly without conceding too many runs. So far, he has picked six wickets in as many games but what stands out is his sensational economy rate of 6.16. Hence, 1. Kieler HTC would be counting on him.
