FPC Finnish Pakistani Club vs Helsinki CC, FPL T20
Both FPC Finnish Pakistani Club and Helsinki CC ended long losing streaks in their last match, and now the two teams meet each other in the Finnish T20 Premier League. The match will take place at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on July 18 and the live action is scheduled to start at 10:30 local time.
FPC Finnish Pakistani Club were bottom of the league until Nadeem Qureshi’s 3-25 helped leave them 117 to chase to beat Greater Helsinki Markhors. A middle-order collapse hampered their efforts and they were 104/9 with three overs remaining, but Abdul Rehman got them over the line.
Helsinki CC, meanwhile, got back on track in style. Aniketh Pusthay top-scored as they hit 188/7 against previously in-form Empire CC Lions – the team they beat in last year’s final. Economical bowling in reply meant Empire could only reach 143/5 as Helsinki claimed a notable win.
