SKK cruised serenely to victory against Empire CC in this third Finnish Ten10 League encounter from the Kerava National Cricket Ground (KNCG), just outside Helsinki, Finland on Sunday.
Learning their lesson from a dreadful collapse in their opening outing of the day, SKK posted a monumental 123 against Empire CC. Aussie opener Jordan O’Brien carried his bat for an unbeaten 83 off 32 balls, mullering 5x4 & 5x6 at SR 259.37 – the highest individual innings of the Finnish Ten10 League so far.
In reply, Empire began to crumble early with only opener Jonathan Scamans posting a score of substance. Cricket Finland CEO Andrew Armitage proved the pick of the bowlers with two precious scalps as SKK strolled to a convincing win.
