Britannia CC (BRI) will lock horns with FC Viktoria 89 (VIK) in the second quarter-final of the ECS T10 Dresden 2021 at the Rugby Cricket Dresden eV Stadium in Germany on Friday, August 27.
Led by Rohit Singh, BRI have been one of the most consistent teams in the ongoing edition of the T10 tournament, winning five of their eight matches this season. With 10 points from eight games, Britannia CC finished second in the Group B points table.

BRI vs VIK Dream11 prediction
Britannia CC head into the quarter-final clash as the defending champions of ECS T10 Dresden, which they won on better NRR after last year’s final was abandoned due to heavy rain. On the other hand, FC Viktoria 89 will have nerves heading into the quarter-final clash since they are making their ECS debut in this campaign. Going by big-match experience, Britannia CC will start as favourites against FC Viktoria 89 on Friday.
