HCC vs ECC Betting Tips

  • In a repeat of last year's final, Helsinki CC and Empire CC Lions meet in the Finnish T20 Premier League.
  • Helsinki won that final, but their form this year has not been good and rain denied them the chance to get back to winning ways against struggling FPC last time out.
  • Empire CC Lions, on the other hand, have lost just once this season and won a rain-reduced game against GYM Helsinki Gymkhana last time out.

Helsinki CC vs Empire CC Lions Finnish Premier League

Helsinki CC and Empire CC Lions, last year’s finalists, meet in the 2020 Finnish T20 Premier League in vastly different form. The match takes place at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on July 4 and the match is set to get underway at 09:30 local time.

Helsinki, the defending champions, have lost their last three games in a row despite having started the title defence with two wins. They missed the chance to end their losing streak last time out, when their game against struggling FPC was rained off without a ball bowled.

Empire CC Lions played the following day, and a comfortable win in a rain-reduced game against GYM Helsinki Gymkhana made it five victories in six games so far this season. They are level on points with SKK Rapids at the top of the table.

Toss Prediction

Empire CC bowled first and won last time out and may try to repeat that winning tactic.

Weather Report

The early start time for this game gives it the best chance of being completed – there is a smaller chance of rain in the morning.

Pitch Condition

Wet days have usually meant slow pitches and heavy outfields at Kerava.

Helsinki Cricket Club Team News & Playing 11

HCC Team News

After their last game was washed out, Helsinki CC continue to search for the right balance in this team. Abdul Ahad Qureshi and Abdul Wahid Qureshi have still not made a big impact since joining the team for this season.

HCC Key Players

  • Khalid Rahman Mangal: Capable of some quick runs at the top of the order and with some consistency would be their key player.
  • Ghulam Abbas Butt: Top-scored in last year’s final between these two teams and then picked up three wickets – all-round form he has repeated at times this season too.
  • Abdul Ahad Qureshi: Starting to slowly tick, with a small platform of runs from his last two innings on which to build. He was last season’s top scorer.

HCC Team Form

Rain washed out Helsinki’s last match, against FPC, which means they have still not won since their first two matches. Three defeats in a row since then, most recently scoring 113/7 on their way to a nine-wicket defeat to SKK Rapids, have left them just outside the play-off places in the table.

Helsinki Cricket Club Predicted Playing 11

Ghulam Abbas Butt, Khalid Rahman Mangal, Zahidullah Kamal, Abdul Ahad Qureshi, Aniketh Pushthay (c, wk), Maneesh Chauhan, Zakiullah Kamal, Obaidullah Sadiqui, Abdul Wahid Qureshi, Adnan Syed

HCC vs ECC Dream11 Prediction

  • Wicket-keeper(s):

    Aniketh Pushthay top-scored for Helsinki in their most recent match, but Jonathan Scamans is just eight credits and bats at number three. His batting form makes him seem excellent value.
     
  • Batsmen:

    Khalid Rahman Mangal and Vaanraj Padhaal both open the batting for their respective teams and, while they are still looking for some consistent form, they are both potentially key players. Muhammad Imran bats up the order and can turn his arm for the Lions too.
     
  • All-rounder(s):

    There is no shortage of quality all-rounders, with Amjad Sher in particularly good form at the moment. Raaz Muhammad is a quality bowler too, while Ghulam Abbas Butt and Mahesh Tambe starred when these teams last met in last year’s final. Between the four of them, they have all racked up enough points this season to justify their costs.
     
  • Bowlers:

    It leaves plenty in reserve for the out-and-out bowlers too, though you need to pick two members of the Helsinki attack. Adnan Syed and Obaidullah Sadiqui could be the best picks in that regard, leaving one space for Abdul Ghaffar ahead of Empire team-mate Shoaib Qureshi.
     
  • Captain/vice-captain:

    With so much all-round quality on show, that is the obvious place to look for your captain and vice-captain. Amjad Sher opens the batting and bowling and is in good form with both. He is a definite pick, and Ghulam Abbas Butt’s prominent batting position makes him seem a good vice-captain option.

HCC vs ECC Dream11 Team Prediction

  • Batsmen:Khalid Rahman Mangal, Vaanraj Padhaal, Muhammad Imran

  • All Rounder:Ghulam Abbas Butt (vc), Amjad Sher (c), Raaz Muhammad, Mahesh Tambe

  • Wicket Keeper:Jonathan Scamans

  • Bowler:Adnan Syed, Obaidullah Sadiqui, Abdul Ghaffar

Empire Cricket Club Team News & Playing 11

ECC Team News

Empire CC Lions are unlikely to make many changes – as they did not last time out – but Zeerak Ijaz could be replaced by Yasir Ali after a first-baller in the last game.

ECC Key Players

  • Vanraaj Padhaal: Top-scored in the final against Helsinki last season and he needs to start delivering more runs at the top of the order.
  • Amjad Sher: After 32 and 3-15 in the previous game, he opened the batting and bowling again last time out and scored 47 and took 1-13.
  • Mahesh Balasheb Tambe: Took five wickets when these sides last met and he warmed up for this meeting with 2-7 from two overs last time out.

ECC Team Form

Empire CC Lions have now won three in a row since their only defeat so far, following up a low-scoring win against SKK Rapids and a dominant bowling performance against FPC with some more good bowling in a rain-reduced defeat of GYM Helsinki Gymkhana. In a match reduced to 15 overs, Empire were set 98 to win and Amjad Sher’s 47 helped them ease to a five-wicket win.

Empire Cricket Club Predicted Playing 11

Vaanraj Padhaal, Amjad Sher (c), Jonathan Scamans (wk), Yasir Ali, Shoaib Qureshi, Mahesh Tambe, Raaz Mohammad, Kushagra Bhatnagar, Muhammad Imran, Ravi Kumar, Abdul Ghafar

Empire CC Lions have been much better than Helsinki this season and, as long as they beat the weather, they can beat the defending champions too.
