Stadin ja Keravan are favourites to win
SKK Rapids will look to continue their winning start to the 2020 Finnish T20 Premier League when they take on FPC. The match takes place at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on June 13 and the live action is scheduled to start at 12:00 local time.
SKK’s bowlers were on top as they won their first match against GYM Helsinki Gymkhana, successfully defending 129 in a 25-run win. They then beat Greater Helsinki CC in a rain-reduced match, reaching 104/4 in 13.3 overs to win on the DLS method.
FPC have played just once, meanwhile. Having lost some key players from last season to champions Helsinki CC, they struggled with the bat. Set just 108 to beat GYM Helsinki Gymkhana, they were all out for 98.

SKK earned a rare win for a chasing team last time out but they will no doubt be keen to follow the usual trend of batting first this time.
Kerava is set for clear, dry conditions all day.
Wickets have tumbled at Kerava but the run rates last time out have showed the benefits of the good recent weather, drying the pitch and outfield.

Jordan O’Brien came into the team last time out and opened the batting. SKK could opt for O’Brien and Finland star Nathan Collins at the top of the order again this time, which would mean Mirza Zeeshan Baig staying at three.
Nathan Collins: The key Finland international batsman has not yet showed his best form in the opening two games, but his international record speaks for itself.
Atif Rasheed: Scored 41 from 29 balls in the opening game and took 3-18 from his four overs last time out to highlight his all-round worth.
Peter Gallagher: Scored 22 in both matches so far in different circumstances, but both proved to be key innings in SKK’s wins.
SKK Stadin ja Keravan Kriketti have won both matches so far. First up, they posted 129 against GYM Helsinki Gymkhana thanks to Atif Rasheed’s 41 and the bowlers led them to a 25-run win.
Next up, they recovered from a poor start replying to Greater Helsinki’s 132/6 to reach 104/4 in 13.3 overs and secure a six-wicket win on the DLS method

Missing key players from last season’s play-off charge, including the tournament’s top run scorer in Abdul Ahad Qureshi, the FPC team last time out was unable to match the performances of last season.
Waseem Qureshi: Scored 37 at the top of the order as he tried to hold the innings together last time out but it proved in vain.
Bilal Khan: The captain for this season, he is seen as a key all-rounder and opened the batting and bowling. He took 2-9 from four excellent overs as part of that.
Mohammed Tariq Sarfraz: Opened the bowling with Khan and set the tone with an early wicket on his way to figures of 2-22 last time out.
FPC finished third last season but started with a heavy defeat this time around. They bowled GYM Helsinki Gymkhana out for 107 as Bilal Khan and Mohammed Tariq Sarfraz each took two wickets but they struggled to a miserable 98/9 in reply.
