Day 2 of the ECS T10 Finland League pits Helsinki CC against Greater Helsinki Markhors in what seems to be a potential mismatch on paper.
The Markhors didn't have the best of outings on Saturday as they lost both their league games and are all but out of the race for the top three spots. On the other hand, Helsinki CC began their campaign on the right note as they got the better of a strong SKK Rapids side.
Despite all signs pointing towards a resounding win for Helsinki CC, one cannot rule out Greater Helsinki Gymkhana. They have a couple of individuals in their rosters, capable of winning games singlehandedly, which makes for a good contest.
With both sides looking for the all-important win, another entertaining clash beckons at the Kerava National Cricket Stadium in Kerava.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Kerava National Cricket Ground is a bowler-friendly one with lots of swing and turn on offer. With the pitch being on the slower side, it will be tough going for the batsmen. Wickets in hand will be crucial for both sides with anything above 100 being a competitive total.
