Empire CC Lions vs Helsinki CC Finnish Premier League

High-flying Empire CC once again face the team that beat them in last year’s final, Helsinki CC, in the Finnish T20 Premier League. They meet at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on July 14 and the live action is scheduled to start at 18:00 local time.

Empire won the last time these teams met – part of a run of five consecutive victories and seven in eight in total this season. Amjad Sher and Mahesh Tambe have been in the wickets, while Jonathan Scamans tops the run-scoring charts. All three were key when these teams last met too, with Empire claiming an 11-run victory.

That defeat, which was actually Helsinki’s last match as the one scheduled in between, against Vantaa, was rained off, was the defending champions’ fourth defeat in a row. They have not won since opening the tournament – and their title defence – with back-to-back wins.

Empire Cricket Club Team News & Playing 11

ECC Team News

There were a few changes last time out, to both the team and the batting line-up, but Empire CC Lions could restore Amjad Sher to top of the batting this time.

ECC Key Players

  • Jonathan Scamans: Top-scored for Empire CC Lions when these teams last met and he was the first batsman to pass 200 runs in this year’s tournament.
  • Amjad Sher: Goes into this game with 125 runs to his name, as well as 11 wickets with the ball too – including 3-25 in the most recent game.
  • Mahesh Balasheb Tambe: Has taken eight wickets in his last two matches against Helsinki CC and he has 13 in total this season.

ECC Team Form

Empire CC Lions have won their last five matches in a row, to bounce back well from their only defeat of the season. Jonathan Scamans’ batting and some excellent team bowling made the difference in an 11-run win when these teams last met, while Amjad Sher and Kushagra Bhatnagar took three wickets apiece to set up a low-scoring five-wicket win against Bengal Tigers last time out.

ECC vs HCC Dream11 Prediction

  • Wicket-keeper(s):

    Jonathan Scamans has passed 200 runs for the season and top-scored when these teams last met, and yet he still only costs eight credits. He is clearly top value.
     
  • Batsmen: Khalid Rahman Mangal is capable of quick runs up the order but lacks consistency. He is still worth picking at nine credits though. Muhammad Imran being listed as a batsman is a bit of a bonus, given his all-round credentials. He too is worth nine credits. Vanraaj Padhaal, so key with the bat for Empire last year, is 8.5 credits. As long as he comes back into the team, he too – given he opens – is excellent value.
     
  • All-rounder(s):

    With Imran listed as a batsman, you can still stock up on quality all-rounders with Amjad Sher, Raaz Muhammad and Mahesh Tambe all in excellent wicket-taking form and Sher batting well too. It leaves space for one option from Helsinki, and Abdul Ahad Qureshi – last year’s top FPL runscorer – has just started to find a bit of his nest batting form again.
     
  • Bowlers:

    You only have one Empire bowling space left at this point, so the choice is Shoaib Qureshi, Abdul Ghaffar or Kushagra Bhatnagar. With all three in good form, it is a tough choice and any one could deliver. Qureshi’s better batting could make him the slightly better choice. That leaves two spaces that have to be filled by Helsinki bowlers but the choices are limited. Adnan Syed and Obaidullah Sadiqui could be the ones to round off your team.
     
  • Captain/vice-captain:

    Amjad Sher’s excellent all-round form means he stands out as a captain pick. Wickets from Raaz Muhammad and Mahesh Tambe make those two tempting options too, but Muhammad Imran or Shoaib Qureshi might trump them given his batting too. That said, Tambe’s form against Helsinki should make him worth a punt at vice-captain.

ECC vs HCC Dream11 Team Prediction

  • Batsmen:Khalid Rahman Mangal, Vaanraj Padhaal, Muhammad Imran

  • All Rounder:Abdul Ahad Qureshi, Amjad Sher (c), Raaz Muhammad, Mahesh Tambe (vc)

  • Wicket Keeper:Jonathan Scamans

  • Bowler:Adnan Syed, Obaidullah Sadiqui, Shoaib Qureshi

Helsinki Cricket Club Team News & Playing 11

HCC Team News

Ghulam Abbas Butt missed the last match between these two teams but his all-round form is key and he could return to the team for this one.

HCC Key Players

  • Khalid Rahman Mangal: Tops Helsinki’s run-scoring charts with 127 to his name so far this season, with a good strike rate of 136.56.
  • Ghulam Abbas Butt: A star all-round performance when these teams met in last year’s final was him at his best. He has runs and wickets this season too, but needs consistency.
  • Abdul Ahad Qureshi: Took a while to settle with his new team, but his runs last time out was a sign he is heading in the right direction.

HCC Team Form

Helsinki have not played since their 11-run defeat to Empire CC Lions, which was their fourth consecutive defeat. Their match against Vantaa was a wash-out, so Helsinki have still not won since opening their title defence with back-to-back wins.

Against the Lions, Abdul Ahad Qureshi hit 38 from 31 balls but lacked support as Helsinki posted just 114/9 in pursuit of 126 to win.

Helsinki Cricket Club Predicted Playing 11

Ghulam Abbas Butt, Khalid Rahman Mangal, Zahidullah Kamal, Abdul Ahad Qureshi, Aniketh Pushthay (c, wk), Maneesh Chauhan, Zakiullah Kamal, Obaidullah Sadiqui, Abdul Wahid Qureshi, Adnan Syed
