ECC Team News
An excellent team bowling effort won the game for Empire CC last time out and it seems unlikely they will be making big changes so early on.
ECC Key Players
Amjad Sher: Opened the bowling and set the tone well as he claimed a wicket in the first over and finished on 1-16. He was a key all-rounder last season too.
Vaanraj Padhaal: Out cheap last time out but his 506 runs last season highlight exactly what he offers Empire CC at the top of the order.
Mahesh Tambe: Wickets in the final last year and he picked up where he left off in this season’s first Empire CC match – claiming 3-19 from his four overs.
ECC Team Form
After defeat to Helsinki CC in last year’s final, Empire CC Lions started this year’s tournament by beating BTCC Thundercats. They scored just 111/8 from their 20 overs, but Mahesh Tambe’s 3-19 helped them claim a ten-run win.

GHC Team News
If there are any changes this time out, it may be in the bowling department after wayward bowling proved costly in their opening game.
GHC Key Players
Ziaur Rehman: Last season’s top run scorer opened the tournament with 55* from 48 balls at the top of the order, including a six and two fours.
Naveed Shahid: Claimed figures of 3-16 last time out to initially put Greater Helsinki in a great position with the ball.
Ghulfam Nazir: Injected some pace in the middle order in a useful partnership with Rehman as he clobbered 30 from 20 balls.
GHC Team Form
Greater Helsinki were well-placed at the halfway stage last time out, having scored 132/6 thanks to Ziaur Rehman’s unbeaten half-century. When Naveed Shahid (3-16) restricted SKK to 30/4 from 3.3 overs in reply they were well on top, but they took no further wickets and SKK won on the DLS method as they reached 104/4 in 13.3 overs.
