Bengal Tigers are favourites to win
Vantaa CC and Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats both have wins to build on when they meet in the latest match of the 2020 Finnish T20 Premier League. The game is one of the few scheduled for the Tikkurila Cricket Ground, Vantaa. It takes place on June 24 and the live action is scheduled to start at 15:30 local time.
Vantaa lost their first two matches but beat Empire CC Lions last time out to get off the mark in surprising circumstances. They bowled last year’s defending champions out for 122 to secure a 15-run win.
Bengal Tigers, meanwhile, opened with losses to Empire CC and Helsinki CC, but have since beaten GYM Helsinki Gymkhana – who they bowled out for 99 – and then FPC to get off the mark and build some momentum.

Although there have been a couple of victories chasing now, teams have still tended to prefer batting first so far.
Vanaa is set to be hot, clear, dry and sunny throughout Wednesday.
The better weather might help, but the Vantaa wicket has been slow in previous games.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds and match prediction for Vantaa CC vs Bengal Tigers CC Thundercats, Finnish Premier League.
Vantaa CC could opt for the same team that beat Empire CC Lions, having been rewarded for their patience in the bulk of their regular XI.
Two poor batting performances cost them early on. They scored 110/8 chasing 146 against Helsinki and were then bowled out for a dismal 86 all out against FPC.
Against Empire CC Lions, however, they scored 137/9 and then had Nipuna Patabendi and Ranuka Shiran Fernando’s wickets to thank for a 15-run win.

Bengal Tigers made three changes last time out but won again and they may keep faith in the team that earned that victory given the weaker performances came from players who have generally performed well this season.
Defeats to Empire CC Lions and Helsinki CC marked a poor start to proceedings, but they bounced back well. First, they beat GYM Helsinki Gymkhana, bowling them out for 99 in reply to 128, before victory against FPC last time out.
FPC posted 125/5 from their 20 overs, but Shahed Alam (45) and Mehran Amin (40) helped the Tigers to a three-wicket win.
