SKK vs GHG Team Previews
SKK Stadin ja Keravan Krikettiseura
We have gone back and looked at the 2019 club cricket records in Finland to come up with some promising players for this tournament. The SKK Rapids are going to be banking a lot on Nathan Collins as their premier batsman.
Collins has played international T20 cricket for Finland and has 151 runs to his name from five matches. He has also scored runs very consistently in domestic T20 cricket. Qaiser Siddique is the other batsman from the SKK Rapids side that catches our eye.
The depth of the batting is going to be a problem in almost every team that is playing the Finnish Premier League T20 so the key players must hit form early.
Jake Goodwin is the all-rounder that is going to play a very important role for SKK in this campaign. He is a regular on the county circuit and has played more than 200 matches for Hampshire. He can contribute with the bat or the ball and is also capable of clearing the boundaries when needed.
Perhaps one area where the SKK Rapids have a bit of an advantage over GYM Helsinki Gymkhana is the bowling.
Nirav Shah and Rajah Waqas are going to be leading the attack, a pair we think is pretty dangerous at this level of cricket. Waqas is the bowler that we would recommend backing as the best in this matchup.

Qaiser Siddique, Nathan Collins, Areeb Quadir, Mirza Zeeshan Baig, Peter Gallagher, Atif Rasheed, Jake Goodwin, Manoj Thavayogarajah, Waqas Raja, Nirav Shah, Yathunanthan Vijayaratnam.
GYM Helsinki Gymkhana
GYM Helsinki Gymkhana has the advantage when it comes to the wicketkeeper-batsmen. Simranjit Brar is a proper batsman that will be one of the key players for the side. He is going to be expected to play in the top-order, possibly open the batting, and provide the quick starts needed by the team.
He scored 231 runs from just 14 matches last season and is a dangerous player.
The batting for GYM Helsinki Gymkhana looks a bit thin around him, though.
Ahmad Jaleel is a decent batsman but has a lot to prove. The all-rounder’s role is going to be played by Faisal Shahzad who is perhaps the best player of the GHG team. He scored 180 runs and picked up 17 wickets in the club tournament last season and was considered one of the more valuable players in the league.
If he gets going then GYM Helsinki Gymkhana could seriously challenge the SKK Rapids for this match.

Pitch and Conditions
A warm and sunny day has been predicted for match-day. The temperatures are expected to hover around the 20 degree Celsius mark, which is pretty warm for Finland. The pitch is expected to be slow and might favor the spinners. The bounce in the surface is not too much and that could mean that the big-hits are hard to come by.
A score of around 140 should be considered very competitive.
SKK vs GHG Betting Tips
The two teams are pretty evenly matched, everything considered. They both have a star all-rounder to bank upon and one or two batsmen of promise. The bowling is nothing too great on either side but the SKK Rapids hold a slight edge in this area for sure.
We think the SKK Rapids are the team to back here.
Bet on the SKK Rapids to win.
