They now go into this game against bottom-of-the-league Greater Helsinki with a chance of getting back into the top four – they are two points behind third-placed GYM Helsinki Gymkhana going into this round of fixtures.

- Naveed Shahid: In excellent all-round form considering the team’s overall performance, with 170 runs and 14 wickets putting him in the top ten for both.
- Ghulfam Nazir: Hit a half-century when these teams last met and he is one of the players who, with more consistent batting form, can lift Greater Helsinki’s disappointing season.
