Finland T10 League 2020: Most runs, most wickets and points table until August 8 (Updated)

The Finland T10 League 2020 has reached its decisive phase with the champions to be crowned today. All the four teams played two encounters each on August 8, with their final group stage matches scheduled for today.

The last two league stage matches would be followed by the eliminator between the second and third-placed teams in the points table. The winner of that clash will take on the group toppers in the all-important final to decide the championship winners.

Helsinki Cricket Club are in the prime position to top the group and qualify for the finals of the Finland T10 League 2020. Having defeated SKK Rapids and Empire Blades in their first two league encounters, they would be up against the supposedly weaker Greater Helsinki Markhors in their final group match. A win in this clash would assure them of a place in the final.

Empire Blades and SKK Rapids have 2 points each, both having registered a win against Greater Helsinki Markhors while losing their respective encounters against Helsinki Cricket Club. They would be facing each other in the second match of the day, which might prove to be a dress rehearsal for the eliminator unless Greater Helsinki Markhors cause a major upset by beating Helsinki Cricket Club.

Greater Helsinki Markhors are eliminated from the race for a spot in the knockout matches of the Finland T10 League 2020 after having lost both their matches on August 8 against Empire Blades and SKK Rapids. They would be playing for pride against Helsinki Cricket Club in the first match of the day.

Following is the points table of the Finland T10 League 2020 after the first day of the league stage matches -
