Empire Blades vs Helsinki Cricket Club, ECS T10 League - Finland

The fourth and final match of the first day of action at the ECS Finland T10 tournament sees Empire Blades and Helsinki Cricket Club meet at the Kerava National Cricket Ground. The match, on August 8, gets underway at 15:00 local time.

Empire Blades have enjoyed a strong season at T20 level, albeit they have dipped slightly. They have a changed squad for this tournament, however, with a few notable players absent. Their two fixtures book-end the action on day one – their previous game is the opening match of the tournament, against Greater Helsinki Markhors.

Helsinki Cricket Club have opted for a very similar squad to their in-form T20 outfit, however. That includes some key all-rounders at the top of the order, who have fired the defending T20 champions up the table. Their first match of this T10 tournament is against SKK Rapids.

Kerava is set for sunny weather throughout on day one.

Pitch Condition

The artificial wicket can be slow on occasions, but no usually when there are good weather conditions around.

Empire Blades Team News & Playing 11

EB Team News

Of all the squads, Empire Blades is the one that looks least like their T20 side. There could be some rotation, with a number of options set to join them in Kerava.

EB Key Players

  • Jonathan Scamans: One of the leading run-scorers in the T20 Premier League, the wicket-keeper-batsman will be key with the bat.
  • Amjad Sher: Capable of batting up and down the order and also a prominent wicket-taker when he gets the ball in his hand.
  • Mahesh Tambe: One of the most in-form players in Finnish cricket at the moment, based on his T20 form, scoring runs as well as being a prolific wicket taker.

EB Team Form

Empire Blades start against Greater Helsinki Markhors, before this match against Helsinki, with their two fixtures book-ending the day’s action.

Empire Blades Predicted Playing 11

Vaanraj Padhaal, Amjad Sher (c), Jonathan Scamans (wk), Ravi Kumar, Udaybhaskar Nandini, Mahesh Tambe, Raaz Mohammad, Kushagra Bhatnagar, Muhammad Imran, Ravi Kumar, Raghavendra Sathyanarayana

EB vs HCC Dream11 Prediction

  • Wicket-keeper(s)

    Jonathan Scamans is good value at 8.5 credits considering his batting form going into this tournament. He is a good option for wicket-keeper, though Zahidullah Kamal and Vaanraj Padhaal are other options if you save credits elsewhere.

  • Batsmen

    Abdul Ahad Qureshi is a batsman in serious form, and he can bowl a bit too. Udaybhaskar Nandini is another listed as a batsman who could have an impact with the ball – even more so with the ball, in truth. He is 8.5 credits, which balances the cost of Qureshi, and Faheem Nellancheri can be picked up at the same price too.

  • All-rounder(s)

    Aniketh Pusthay leads from the front for Helsinki, with runs and wickets this season, and Ghulam Abbas Butt is a key all-rounder too. They are 19.5 credits between them, but Amjad Sher’s form demands you pick him too, even at ten credits. It still leaves enough for some top bowlers too.

  • Bowlers

    Empire’s bowling attack means it is easy to pick purely from their team. Mahesh Tambe is a key pick at 9.5 credits and he could prove even more valuable given he bats too, and the same is true of Muhammad Imran, who could be up the order. Raaz Muhammad is an out-and-out bowler in wicket-taking form, however, and while it means a heavy Empire bias considering how tight these two teams could be, Kushagra Bhatnagar is eight credits and that is all you have left to spend. He is good value at that price though.

  • Captain/vice-captain

    Mahesh Tambe’s all-round form of late, adding late-order runs to his excellent wicket-taking ability, means he is hard to ignore. He needs to be picked. Amjad Sher is another key all-rounder in particularly good bowling form, but Aniketh Pusthay has perhaps surpassed his opposite number in recent weeks.

EB vs HCC Dream11 Team Prediction

  • Batsmen:Udaybhaskar Nandini, Abdul Ahad Qureshi, Faheem Nellancheri

  • All Rounder:Amjad Sher, Aniketh Pusthay (vc), Ghulam Abbas Butt

  • Wicket Keeper:Jonathan Scamans

  • Bowler:Raaz Muhammad, Mahesh Tambe (c), Muhammad Imran, Kushagra Bhatnagar

Helsinki Cricket Club Team News & Playing 11

HCC Team News

Helsinki have found a strong core of players in T20 cricket this season and could keep changes to a minimum in this tournament too.

HCC Key Players

  • Ghulam Abbas Butt: Runs up the order in T20 cricket and wickets with the ball too, he is a key all-rounder for this team.
  • Aniketh Pusthay: The captain was already a key batsman for Helsinki but his recent form has showed he is a wicket-taking bowler too.
  • Abdul Ahad Qureshi: After a sluggish start with the bat this season, he now looks more like the player who top-scored in the 2019 Finnish T20 Premier League. 

HCC Team Form

Helsinki face SKK Rapids before this match at the end of day one.

Helsinki Cricket Club Predicted Playing 11

Ghulam Abbas Butt, Abdul Ahad Qureshi, Aniketh Pushthay (c), Zahidullah Kamal (wk), Abdul Wahid Qureshi, Maneesh Chauhan, Faheem Nellancheri, Akhil Arjunan, Adnan Syed, Amrik Bhatia, Asad Sohail

🏆 Empire Blades vs Helsinki Cricket Club Prediction

Helsinki have the edge in this fixture in recent seasons and they can maintain that record at this level too – despite Empire’s abundance of top wicket-taking talent.
