Vantaa CC are favourites to win
Both Vantaa CC and FPC Finnish Pakistani Club need a win at the bottom end of the Finnish T20 Premier League campaign as they look to clamber away from danger and end a disappointing season on a high. The match takes place at the Kerava National Cricket Ground on August 3 and starts at 17:30 local time.
Vantaa go into this game on the back of taking on another struggling side in Greater Helsinki. They have occasionally produced a moment of brilliant but then, on the other end of the scale, they were bowled out for 55 in one of their more recent matches too.
FPC Finnish Pakistani Club, missing Abdul Ahad Qureshi, have been poor with the bat too. Lacking one of last season’s star players – and others with him too – they have not got anywhere near last season’s play-off push.

Both teams have struggled with the bat, but batting first seems preferable.
The rain should clear by the evening in Kerava, though temperatures will remain on the cool side.
Better run rates of late have showed how the Kerava wicket has become more reliable for batting.

Vantaa have ripped up the batting order and tried again on several occasions now and this could be a similar story.
Bowled out for 79 against SKK and 55 by Empire CC, there is certainly a big gulf between Vantaa and the top teams. They played Greater Helsinki, at the other end of this table, before this match against another struggler.

There have been some stand-out performers, but generally the team has come up too short with bat and ball.
FPC faced Bengal Tigers as they tried to end their recent losing streak, having lost to Helsinki and SKK Rapids in the two matches before that. That included a rain-impacted defeat in the former.
Aqib Qureshi, Adil Khan, Muhammad Aqeel (wk), Nadeem Qureshi, Naufal Khalid, Subah Sadaqat, Abdul Rehman, Bilal Khan (c), Mohammed Tariq Sarfraz, Kashif Shaukat, Shahid Sarfraz
FPC Finnish Pakistani Club bowled Vantaa out for 86 to win when these teams last met. They posted 111/8 from their 20 overs and then Bilal Khan starred with 5-23 to set up their 25-run win.
Neither team are in good form, but Vantaa have at least showed their quality in a couple of big wins.
