Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats vs SKK Stadin ja Keravan Kriketti Finnish Premier League
SKK Rapids will go back to the top of the Finnish T20 Premier League, albeit having played a game more than Empire CC Lions, if they beat Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats. The match, at the Kerava National Cricket Ground, will be played on July 13 and the live action is scheduled to start at 18:00 local time.
The Rapids have only lost once so far this season, but they also had to drop two points when these teams were last scheduled to meet as the game was rained off. Nevertheless, they bounced back last time out with a dominant win against Greater Helsinki CC. After some tidy bowling left them needing 105 to win, Nathan Collins’ 45* from 52 balls helped them to a seven-wicket win – the Finland international sealing victory with a six.
Bengal Tigers, meanwhile, saw their winning run halted by the rain, and lost for the first time in four matches last time out. In a low-scoring game against Empire CC Lions, the Tigers scored just 102/8 – Mehran Amin (37) and Rony Sardar (34*) helping them recover from 51/7 in 12 overs to even post that. They lost by five wickets with seven balls to spare.

BTC Team News
There were several changes last time out, after weeks without a match, with Mehran Amin doing enough with the bat to prove his worth moving forward.
BTC Key Players
- Tonmoy Kumar Saha: Could not add to his ten wickets last time out, but he did bowl tidily on his way to figures of 0-16 from his three overs.
- Nurul Huda: Another all-rounder in good form, he took 2-17 from his four overs last time out to give the Thundercats a chance of defending their small total.
- Rony Sardar: Rescued the innings with 34* from 29 balls at number nine, before taking two wickets opening the bowling.
BTC Team Form
After three wins in a row, Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats were frustrated by two rained-off matches and their winning streak was fully halted by defeat to Empire CC Lions last time out. The Thundercats could only post 102/8 from their 20 overs – owing much to an innings-saving eighth-wicket partnership. They still suffered a five-wicket defeat with seven balls to spare, however.
