SKK Stadin ja Keravan Kriketti vs Greater Helsinki CC, FPL T20
SKK Stadin ja Keravan Kricketti will bid to continue their excellent 2020 Finnish T20 Premier League form when they take on Greater Helsinki CC. The match will take place at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on July 10 and the live action is scheduled to start at 18:00 local time.
SKK Rapids have won five of their six completed games so far, but one match falling foul to the rain cost them top spot, which they previously held on net run rate. Nevertheless, they are otherwise in good form, bouncing back from their only defeat with two wins.
Greater Helsinki CC, meanwhile, beat FPC Finnish Pakistani Club quite convincingly last time out to record their second win of the season. That victory means they have a chance to close the gap to the top four if they can find a bit of consistency moving forward. They did lose a rain-affected match when these teams last met, however.
