T10 thrills in Belgium: Genk dominate with over 6,000 runs, flood of sixes

The ECS Belgium (Premier), 2026 in Belgium has turned into a great T10 run-fest. The aggressive batting of the batsmen at the Vrijbruck Cricket Ground in Brussels has been regularly flying the ball out of bounds. At the same time, the bowlers have also kept the match exciting by taking wickets at crucial times. Genk have won the most in this five-day event so far—they have won 7.

A look at the tournament statistics

The ECS Belgium (Premier), 2026, organized as part of the ECS competition, began on August 24 and will continue until August 28. Five teams are participating in this event.

The tournament is still ongoing after the completion of 24 matches. In the meantime, the matches have seen a lot of runs, last-minute drama and some great individual performances.

The success rate of the teams batting first is slightly higher—54 percent of the matches have been won by the team batting first. This means that scoring a big total first in T10 has given a slight advantage. However, despite chasing runs, there have been some great victories in several matches.

The total runs scored in 24 matches are 6,038, with a run rate of 14.1 runs per over. That is, they have scored an average of 2.09 runs per ball, which is equal to 209 runs per 100 balls—a reflection of the truly aggressive batting of T-10.

So far, the batsmen have hit 393 fours and 518 sixes. That is, on average, one six every 5 balls. A total of 4,680 runs have come from fours and sixes, which is about 78 percent of the total runs.

On the other hand, the bowlers and fielders have also achieved no less. 259 wickets have been taken in 24 matches. An average of 6 wickets have been taken in every 10 overs and the batsmen have averaged 23.3 runs per wicket. About 34 percent of the total balls were dot balls—meaning that the bowlers have had the opportunity to create pressure even amidst the high runs.

Naveed Momand tops the batting charts

Genk's Naveed Momand is the tournament's highest run-scorer so far. He has 358 runs in 9 matches. He is also at the top of the six-hitting list, hitting 39 sixes in 7 matches.

The tournament's highest individual innings was played by Brussels Capital Warriors' Burhan Niaz. He scored an unbeaten 112 off just 33 balls against Royal Antwerp CC in the Eliminator.

Building on Burhan's devastating innings, Brussels Capital Warriors averaged 203/1 in 10 overs—the tournament's highest team total so far.

Brussels Capital Warriors set another record in the same Eliminator. They scored 37 runs in the seventh over against Royal Antwerp, which is the tournament's highest run-scoring in an over.

There was also great drama in the chase. In the 17th match, Genk defeated Hasselt CC by 3 wickets, that too in the last ball. On the other hand, Brussels Capital Warriors set a record for the fewest runs defended by defeating Royal Antwerp CC by 49 runs by capitalizing on just 76 runs in the 11th match.

Beveren's Noman's dominance in bowling

In the fast-paced T10 cricket, every wicket is valuable for bowlers. So far, Beveren's Mohammad Noman is on top of that fight, with 16 wickets in 7 matches.

The best bowling figures, however, belong to Royal Antwerp CC's Wahidullah Jabarkhel. In the 18th match against Hasselt CC, he took 4 wickets for 3 runs in just 1 over—an incredible spell in T10.

Best all-round performance: Mohammad Noman Kamavi

The tournament's Most Valuable Player (MVP) is topped by Beveren's Mohammad Noman Kamavi.

He has made significant contributions with both bat and ball in 9 matches. He has scored 115 runs in 50 balls with the bat, at a strike rate of 230.0 and an average of 12.8. 68 percent of his total runs have come from fours and sixes.

He has hit 13 sixes so far, with a six-per-10 over rate of 15.6. His best batting performance against Genk on August 25 was 41 runs in just 12 balls. He hit 6 sixes in that innings.

The fielders are led by Sherry Butt of Brussels Capital Warriors. He has 9 dismissals in just 4 matches—8 of which are catches and a runout.

Genk tops in number of wins

Genk have the most wins—7 out of 24 matches in the tournament. Naveed Momand's batting prowess, a storm of sixes and a last-ball chase of 166 against Hasselt CC have established them as one of the most talked-about teams of the tournament.

On the other hand, with Brussels Capital Warriors' 203/1, Wahidullah Jabarkhel's 4/3, Beveren's excellent bowling and Hasselt CC's dramatic matches, ECS Belgium (Premier), 2026 is offering a great cricket festival.
