Helsinki have the core of their in-form T20 team and it is likely to be a very similar line-up to that competition as a result – led by Aniketh Pusthay, with Zahidullah Kamal behind the stumps and Abdul Ahad Qureshi and Ghulam Abbas Butt among the key players.
HCC Key Players
- Ghulam Abbas Butt: Scored plenty of runs up the order in T20 cricket this season and he is a hugely valuable bowler too.
- Aniketh Pusthay: Found some wicket-taking form of late to accompany his good batting so far this season.
- Abdul Ahad Qureshi: A slow start after joining Helsinki in the winter, but he is now bang in form and one of the leading batsmen in this tournament.
