MSF vs ALZ

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the European Cricket League 2022. It's time for the final match of the Group D encounters. MSC Frankfurt and Alby Zalmi will go up against each other to determine who gets crowned as the champions of this group.

MSC Frankfurt has been the most successful side of the group so far. They topped the points table in the league stage, winning all five matches. However, the start of the playoff stage wasn't as expected for them. MSC lost a close encounter against VOC Rotterdam. But they bounced back well, winning the second playoff match and the Qualifier to book their final berth.

The journey of Zalmi into the final wasn't as smooth as that of their opponents. They finished fourth in the group stage with just two victories in five games. However, they won two eliminators and a qualifier on the bounce to storm into the final. They might have been the lesser side during the league stage, but they definitely have the momentum building up to the match that matters.

MSC Frankurt thrashed Zalmi when they met earlier this season. After putting up 125 runs on the board, they restricted Zalmi to just 83 runs. But the Zalmi side has rejuvenated since that game. If MSC expects a similar result, they might be erring on the side of complacency.

The match is set to begin at 09:30 p.m. IST. Bala will narrate the action for you as it unfolds. Get back right here to enjoy the final match of Group D with Sportskeeda!
