Olten Cricket Club

Known for their fiery fast bowling combination and spin options, Olten is one of the formidable cricket power house in Switzerland. Their bowling is well supported by enterprising batting and often spectacular fielding. With loads of experience of being in the knockout stages of the competition for many years, Olten will be one of the teams to watch out.

Geneva SL Cricket Club
St Gallen Cricket Club
St Gallen CC will be making their debut in the knock out phase of PT20 tournament after qualifying as runners up in Eastern division. They are known to play an attractive brand of cricket and have an explosive batting line up led by some of the finest young talent in Switzerland. Apart from Geneva, St Gallen are only the second team to crack the 300 barrier in a T20 game. It's not just the powerful batting line up, but the variety in their fast bowling resources make them a daunting team to face. Once the team gets going it will be difficult to stop the momentum and St Gallen are definitely one of the teams to watch out for on the finals day.
