Greater Helsinki vs FPC Finnish Pakistani Club Finnish Premier League
Greater Helsinki can pull away from the bottom of the table if they beat last-placed FPC Finnish Pakistani Club in this Finnish T20 Premier League fixture. The match takes place at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on July 15 and the live action is scheduled to start at 18:00 local time.
Greater Helsinki won when these teams last met, with Zia Rehman leading the way with a half-century. He was key to their batting when they won promotion last season, and his batting in that game means they sit sixth, two points clear of FPC. They did lose last time out, however, to SKK Rapids.
FPC’s most recent match, against GYM Helsinki Gymkhana, was rained off. It means they remain bottom of the league with just one win to their name this season, but they have lost the same amount of matches (five so far) as the two teams immediately above them in the table.

GHC Team News
Parveen Kumar Garhwal could return this time. He was excellent with the ball when these teams last met but he missed the match against SKK Rapids last time out.
GHC Key Players
- Ziaur Rehman: His 60 at the top of the order when these teams last met was the opener’s second half-century of the is year’s Finnish Premier League.
- Naveed Shahid: The captain has 13 wickets to his name so far this season and also 136 runs to prove his all-round worth.
- Ghulfam Nazir: Capable of more than he has shown with the bat, having amassed 148 runs so far but been inconsistent, however.
GHC Team Form
Greater Helsinki’s second and most recent win came when these teams last met. Zia Rehman hit 60 at the top of the order in a total of 139/8 before a team bowling effort saw FPC dismissed for just 106. They could not back it up against SKK Rapids, however, as they limped to 104/7 in their most recent match – which owed much to the unbroken, 40-run eighth-wicket partnership. The Rapids needed just 15.3 overs to seal a seven-wicket win in reply.
