Finland took only three wickets in the fourth and final game of the Pepsi ICC Europe Division 3 tournament in La Manga, Spain, today. Ekhpelwak Kutchey top-scored for Finland with an unbeaten 37 off 24 balls, but it was too little too late, as Anastasios Manousis had hit the tournament's first century (102* off 61 balls) to take Hellas to a total of 185 for three. Andreas Koutsoufis and Dimitrios Triantafillidis each took three wickets as Finland's reply was restricted to 132 for 8.

Gallingly, Finland's second match in the Pepsi ICC Europe Division 3 Tournament in La Manga, Spain, also ended in disappointment. The Finnish Men's Team lost to Israel despite beginning with two wickets in the first over of their reply, courstesy of Tariq Sarfraz, including a golden duck for Israel's Matthew Hoffman.

Good first game, though Finland lost

Finland lost its opening game of the Pepsi ICC Europe Division 3 Tournament in La Manga, Spain, yesterday. Finland scored 153 for the loss of 7 wickets in their 20 overs, but Spain paced their run-chase well and posted 157 for 6 with five balls to spare.

There are, however, a number of positives to take from the match. For one, Finland's Manoj Achchige scored a fifty (including four fours and three sixes) and was the game's MVP according to the CricHQ scorecard, which you can view here online. Two wickets for captain Amrik Bhatia and two runouts by Zahidullah Kamal also bode well for today's game against Israel.
