Switzerland tour of Estonia 2025: EST Batters to Watch in the 3rd T20I Match of SUI vs EST

If you worked on the first T20I, thinking it was nothing more than a warm-up, reconsider. Estonia’s batters are about to crank it up in the 3rd T20I against Switzerland, and believe me, there is much to be excited about. With a few good individual performances enough to turn this batting line-up around, it would not be shocking to see them change things up and take charge. So grab some snacks and make yourself comfortable as we cover the players that could make a difference.

Steffan Gooch

Steffan Gooch

Steffan Gooch stands out a mile above the other stats when you look at Estonia’s batting stats. Not only is he consistent, but he can also be explosive when needed. He averages just under 40 in T20Is with a strike rate over 123, and it is the mix of both patience and power that is akin to a seasoned professional.

His highest score of 72 shows he can also play as one to consolidate innings via defence, but that to me is like knowing a tiger can destroy you (because Gooch can batter bowling attacks to shreds); so accurate shots, or boundaries, are sure to happen if he’s set. Switzerland would be wise to ensure they keep track of Gooch because if he gets himself settled, their bowlers will not be able to bowl all day long without boundary runs being scored. The scoreboard will be going fast, which can easily turn into a run avalanche!

Habib Khan

Habib Khan

Estonia relies on Gooch’s steadiness and Habib Khan’s energetic spark in the heart of their batting lineup. Khan isn’t afraid to take on the bowlers, and with scored 488 runs in 23 matches, while maintaining a strike rate over 119. Khan has three half-centuries to his name, proving he can build innings; however, it is his destructive batting that makes him dangerous.

When put under pressure, Khan’s ability to hit boundaries (39 fours and 22 sixes) could be the difference in this series. If the Swiss bowlers become too loose, then expect Khan to capitalise on it and quickly re-engage the Estonian momentum.

Bilal Masud

Bilal Masud

Completing this intimidating trio is Estonia’s finisher Bilal Masud. He has an average of over 35 with a blistering strike rate of 126.97, which is why he is such a powerful player at the death. Masud has five not-outs in 16 innings, showing that he can keep his head and play with composure when the pressure is on.

His top score of 82 can also demonstrate that he can take some accountability and raise the tempo of the innings towards the end. When the game is tight, Masud’s ability to clear the rope and finish off the innings with efficiency could very well be the difference – something Switzerland will be working hard to stifle.

Overall, Estonia’s batting lineup is an interesting mix of reliability, aggression, and finishing ability. Gooch, Khan, and Masud all offer something unique, and if they all fire at the same time, Switzerland is going to struggle to compete. Fans can look forward to a run-packed and entertaining Third T20I. So, which Estonian batter will light up and change the course of history? There is only one way to find out, so watch the game!
