Sweden head into the contest with a narrow one-wicket defeat. It was the batting failure from the hosts as they were bowled out on 107 runs. Their bowlers added some drama in the contest but couldn’t finish the game. It was a late mini-collapse which gave Sweden a slight chance of comeback. Previously, they secured a victory against Norway in the opening game. They chased down 138 runs with 13 balls spare.
Batting remains an issue for Sweden. In the opening game, they lost six wickets on 52 runs but Wynand Boshoff played a steady knock of 46. In the previous game, the entire batting unit failed and managed 107 runs. They will now take on Austria in the final group stage game. If they win, they will qualify for the finals, thanks to a good NRR.
Yatharth Chauhan would be a player to watch out for. He scored 150 in 5 innings in the European qualifiers. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game. Sami Rahmani also has 10 wickets from 5 matches. Sweden would try to chase the total in next game.

Austria came back to Sweden for the title defence of Viking Cup but their performance out them on the verge of elimination. Norway thrashed the defending champions by 78 runs. They got Norway’s 4 wickets on 25 runs but still conceded 150. Austria were bowled out on just 72 runs. With this loss, they are almost out of the race from the final. They need a favour from Finland and a big victory against Sweden to reach number two.
In the opening game, Finland surprised them by six wickets as Austria were bundled out on 86. Austria recently participated in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Sub Regional Qualifiers and won two games during the group stage. Karanbir Singh could be a player to watch out for. He scored 145 runs in the sub regional qualifiers. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game.

The weather at Stockholm on 13th June is expected to be cloudy with a high of 17°C and a low of 11°C, along with a 40% chance of rain and north winds at 19 kph.
The surface at Botkyrka Cricket Center is kind of a batting friendly wicket. However, the new ball pressure will be big. Teams are losing at least two wickets in the powerplay this competition. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in the Men’s T20I is 158. It is a quality T20I batting surface where batsmen need to avoid early blows in the powerplay.
Score prediction:
If Sweden bat first - 130-140 runs
If Austria bat first - 140-150 runs
In the last five Men’s T20I on this surface, chasing sides won three games. The weather will be pretty clear in Stockholm. Due to the pressure game, batting first would be an ideal call. 163 is the highest successful run-chase on this ground. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Sweden to win the coin toss.
Austria enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a better T20I side than Sweden. They are the defending champions and would eye a solid victory. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a place in the finals.
Austria to win.
