Every game will be live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.

REPORT: All hail Helsinki CC at European Cricket Series Finland

Finnish champions Helsinki showed their class by dominating the European Cricket Series Finland.

SKK Rapids beat the Empire Blades in successive matches, including the Eliminator, to earn a spot in the final against Helsinki, who had progressed serenely into the final unbeaten.

After some untimely rain, the final was a reduced seven over match, with SKK Rapids posting a competitive total of 80 with Jake Goodwin (20), Peter Gallagher (17) and Atif Rasheed (15) all making useful contributions. In reply, Helsinki lost a wicket to the second ball of the innings, but Abbas Butt soon got Helsinki back on track with 37 off 14 balls. Faheem Nellancheri added 22 off 11, as Helsinki coasted home with 8 balls remaining to become European Cricket Series Finland champions.
