Defending champions Helsinki CC will look to continue their winning start to the 2020 Finnish Premier League when they take on BTCC Thundercats. The match, at the Kerava National Cricket Ground, is scheduled to start at 08:30 local time on June 6.
Helsinki were in dominant form in their opening game, recording a comfortable win against Vantaa CC to set the tone for their title defence. They posted 141/8 – the highest score of the season so far after some low-scoring openers.
Bengal Tigers were an example of that low scoring, as they only managed 101/7 chasing 112 to win their first match. Nevertheless, there were positive signs for the newcomers, including Tonmoy Kumar Saha’s four wickets with the ball.

BTC Team News
The BTCC Thundercats scored too slowly last time out, but performances from all-rounders such as captain Tonmoy Kumar and Nurul Huda could encourage them to stick with the same team.
BTC Key Players
Tonmoy Kumar Saha: Showed his bowling credentials from the off with 4-23 last time out, before hitting a patient 21 with the bat.
Belayet Khan: Took three wickets with the ball to help restrict the Lions last time out, and some faster-scoring batting in reply may have turned it into a match-winning performance.
Habib Mohammed Al Aman: His early dismissal last time out may have been key as the Thundercats failed to score quickly enough. The big-hitting middle-order batsman could be key.
BTC Team Form
Newly-promoted BTCC Thundercats started the tournament with a low-scoring loss to Empire CC Lions. Four wickets for Tonmoy Kumar and three for Belayet Khan helped restrict the Lions to just 111/8, but the Thundercats could only post 101/7 in reply.
