The 2nd edition of the Nordic-Baltic T20 trophy was hosted at the Kerava NCG last weekend, and while sadly the inclement weather reduced the tournament from six matches to three, Finland's opener Pete Gallagher rewrote the Finnish T20 record books by smashing the Estonian bowling to all parts in rapid time. Gallagher was finally out off the last ball of the 19th over having amassed 116 magnificent runs off only 68 balls, with his maiden international hundred coming off 59 balls. Finland reached 177/5 off their 20 overs, to which Estonia could only respond with 108/8 in their innings, leaving captain Nathan Collins' Finland side the victors by 69 runs.
Earlier on Sunday Sweden snatched victory from Estonia in the last over, chasing down the target of 119 runs with 6 wickets down.
As a result of the washout of three matches, each country played each other once rather than twice as planned, which meant Sweden won the trophy after recording a D/L victory over Finland on Friday evening when bad light caused a close to Sweden's innings after 11 overs in chase of the 152 run target set by Finland.
As a result of his total 136 runs plus 3 wickets, Finland's Gallagher received both the tournament best batter award as well as the Most Valuable Player trophy for his super effort on national debut.
