The Czech Republic will lock horns with Finland in the sixth Group C fixture of the European Cricket Championship - ECC T10 - on Tuesday at the Cartama Oval.
The Czech Republic and Finland had very contrasting fortunes on the first day of the competition. While the former won both their encounters and stand second in the points table, Finland lost both their games and are reeling at the bottom.
The two sides went up against each other in the second game of the tournament. A riveting contest was on display, as the Czech Republic were restricted to a score of 92 runs after opting to bat first. However, a strong performance from the Czech Republic bowlers saw Finland getting bundled out for only 79.
In their second game, the Czech Republic outplayed Italy by eight wickets. Another dominant Czech bowling performance kept the Italians to a score of 103 runs. The Czechs then overhauled the target with eight wickets and three deliveries to spare.
Meanwhile, Finland were absolutely obliterated by the seemingly invincible England XI. Batting first, Finland could manage only 71 runs in a one-sided contest. The Englishmen chased down their target in the fourth over itself.
