HCC vs BTC Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Jun 06, 2020
These are still early stages of the Finnish Premier League and teams have a long way to go before they start thinking about the playoff stages. There are the same number of matches in the Finnish Premier League T20 series as there are in the IPL so stay tuned for a lot more action.
In this match, we have the Helsinki Cricket Club (HCC) taking on the Bengal Tigers Cricket Club (BTC).
Both teams have played one match each in the FPL so far with varying results. HCC managed to win their opening match pretty comfortably while BTC suffered a pretty comprehensive loss in theirs.
HCC vs BTC Finnish Premier League T20 2020 is going to be played at Kerava National Cricket Ground, Kerava on the 6th of June 2020.
HCC vs BTC Team Previews
Helsinki Cricket Club
HCC batted first in its previous match and managed to get 145 runs on the board. The standout batsman for them on that occasion was Khalid Rahman Mangal with 44 runs to his name. As the opening batsman, Mangal was able to set a good platform for the batsmen to follow. His 44 runs came off just 30 deliveries and included two hits over the boundary.
A lot more was expected from Aniket Pusthay, who is a hard-hitting batsman and a very decent bowler. Zakullah Kamal is also a very good all-rounder in the side to lend it some balance.
The batting depth of HCC is pretty decent and even someone like Adnan Syed, who came into bat at number nine, is no mug with the bat.
The bowling is where HCC is going to run away with some of the games in our opinion. Akhil Arjun can be expected to bowl his full quota of overs in every match. He was pretty successful in the previous season and has started the Finnish Premier League T20 2020 in good form too.
With Zakiullah Kamal, Adnan Syed, and Obaidullah Sadiqui in there as well, HCC has a pretty potent bowling attack for this level.

Bengal Tigers Cricket Club
The Bengal Tigers Club ended up just ten runs short of their target in the previous match. Ten runs is not a big margin to lose by but the fact that BTC was chasing just 112 to win is going to hurt the team. BTC had bowled well and managed to keep its opponents under a par total.
Unfortunately, the batting did not deliver for BTC.
A lot of hoped were pinned on Muhammad Imrul Abedin but he could not get off the mark. Nurul Huda, Tushar Sarkar, and Shahrukh Ali got starts without converting them into big scores. Tonmoy Kumar, the captain, played a good hand of 21 down the line but he could not get any real momentum in the inning either.
The batting is definitely a bit on the weaker side and seems to be the weaker suit for BTC.
Tonmoy Kumar led from the front with the ball as well. He picked up four wickets and ensured that his team would not have to chase too many. Belayet Khan took three wickets as well while Nurul Huda chipped in with a very good spell of bowling too.
This bowling attack is going to be tough to score against even for the stronger batting lineup of HCC.

HCC vs BTC Toss Prediction
The team that wins the toss is going to want to bat first unless rain is imminent. Bowling first in that scenario is the way to go.

Pitch and Conditions
There is some rain around in the air and we could have some delays. The Duckworth Lewis system may be used in case there are some overs lost and that always complicates things. The pitch has been helpful for the bowlers and run-scoring has not been easy.
The lack of bounce as well as some help for the seamers have meant that a score of around 125 should be seen as par for the course.
HCC vs BTC Betting Tips
We think HCC has the batting needed to combat the BTC bowling and come out tops. Both teams have some good all-rounders but the lack of batting depth could cost BTC heavily in this match as well.
Bet on HCC to win.
