Bengal Tigers CC are favourites to win
Both in their first Finnish Premier League season after promotion, Greater Helsinki CC and Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats meet in their latest fixture. The match takes place at the Tikkurila Cricket Ground, Vantaa, on July 1 and the live action is scheduled to start at 17:30 local time.
Greater Helsinki have won just once since beating the Thundercats in last season’s Division 1 Final. They beat Helsinki CC to get off the mark, with Ghulfam Nazir key with the bat in that game, but they lost to GYM Helsinki Gymkhana last time out.
Bengal Tigers, meanwhile, started with two defeats but have won three in a row since. That includes a crushing defeat of Vantaa CC last time out, in which Tonmoy Saha starred with bat and ball.

Vantaa can be a tough place to bat, particularly in the second innings. Batting first might be key.
There are showers on the forecast all day, but they could clear by the evening.
The Vantaa wicket is tough for batting on and it could be low and slow after a wet day.

Greater Helsinki could consider changes after a defeat last time out – their third in four matches so far.
Greater Helsinki have won just one of their four matches so far – though that win did come against defending champions Helsinki CC as Ghulfam Nazir hit a half-century in a total of 161/9 to set up a 37-run victory.
Last time out, however, they suffered a 16-run defeat against GYM Helsinki Gymkhana and so remain with just two points to their name.

A couple of changes between their last two wins did not halt the Thundercats and, given their winning form, they will surely keep changes to a minimum again.
A crushing defeat of Vantaa CC last time out made it three wins a row for Bengal Tigers, having initially lost their first two games. Tonmoy Saha hit 49 with the bat and Shahed Alam and Belayet Khan each took three wickets as the Thundercats posted 157/4 and bowled Vantaa out for 83.

Greater Helsinki CC and Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats met in the Division 1 Final last season, where Greater Helsinki triumphed again. Tonmoy Saha (42*) and Nurul Huda (34) helped the Tigers to 137/6, but Gulfam Nazir’s 47 was key as Greater Helsinki won by four wickets with an over to spare.
Bengal Tigers have built up some momentum and can continue that against the team that beat them in the Division 1 Final last season.
