Preview
In their first game of the tournament, Greater Helsinki CC will play the SKK Stadin Ja Keravan Kriketti in Kerava, Finland.

Already having opened their tally in the tournament, SKK Stadin Ja Keravan Kriketti will want to carry to momentum forward. With two strong teams on paper, this should be a well-fought contest.
Weather Report
With a high of 18 Degrees Celsius and a low of 10 Degrees Celsius, rain is expected to play spoilsport on Saturday.
