TEAMS PREVIEW

Lativa Preview

The Latvia national cricket team will be ready for the final league stage assignment in the Euro T20 Cup 2026. Latvia lost to Poland with a big margin in the last game. Poland posted 207/7 while batting first and Latvia fell flat. In their opening game, they smashed Lithuania by 7 wickets with 61 balls to spare. 

In the opener, Lithuania posted 109 runs and Latvia chased down the total in 9.5 overs. Ishan Kashyap scored 50 off 22 balls. The same batting approach was missing in the last game. Latvia will now take on Iceland in the final group stage game. When they last met Iceland during the 2025 edition, Iceland had the last laugh. 

Latvia would be under pressure in the third game as they have a poor record against Iceland. Urvish Patel is a primary keeper and a handy batsman in the middle order. Ishan Kashyap is also a good asset. Yash Jaiswal can also accelerate the innings. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game. 

Lativa Predicted Playing XI:

Ishan Kashyap (c), Yash Jaiswal, Siddhant Singhal, Shivam Rajput, Ranjith Muttineni, Sukhwinder Singh, Adarsh Sharma, Biswajit Mohapatra, Sourav Kumar, Urvish Patel (wk), Rex Silvera

Iceland Preview

Iceland head into the final league stage game of the ECN Poland, Euro T20 Cup 2026 with a 64-run victory against Lithuania. They posted 214/6 while batting first and restricted the opposition on 150. Iceland needed this win after a loss against the defending champions. They suffered a 15-run loss through the D/L method. 

Akshay Jotin smashed 121 runs off just 41 balls with 12 fours and nine sixes. It was a pure hammering for the side. Iceland also participated in the 2025 edition of the Euro Cup in Poland. They won three games against Lithuania, Latvia, and Ukraine. Iceland’s next assignment is against Latvia, whom they defeated last year in the Euro T20 Cup.

Akshay Jotin could be a player to watch out for. He brings value to the side through his acceleration, scoring 169 runs in 2 innings. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming contest. They also have Lakmal Bandara who is an all-rounder. Keenan Botha is a solid wicketkeeper-batsman. He was the top run-scorer in 2025. 

Iceland Predicted Playing XI:

Akshay Jotin, Asif Ali, Azmare Sarwari, Bala Kamallakharan, Chamley Fernando, David Cook, Derick Deonarain, Dushan Bandara, Elaiyaraja Veerasamy, Jakob Robertson, Keenan Botha.

LAT vs ICE Pitch Report

The surface at GOSIR Ground gives easy chances to the batters. It’s a pure batting friendly wicket. Rain prediction can also change the outcome. The dew might be effective here. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 178. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively.

If Iceland bat first - 160-170 runs 

If Latvia bat first - 140-150 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won only once. Meanwhile, rain prediction can push the captain to bowl first in this crucial game. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Latvia to win the coin toss.
