FIN vs SWE 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Finland and Sweden will lock horns to play the 1st T20I of the four-match series of the Sweden Tour of Finland. The fixture will be held at the Kerava National Cricket Ground in Kerava on Saturday, August 21. I have collated the top betting tip from the FIN vs SWE head-to-head match for you.

Finland and Sweden will head into a four-match series T20I fixture for the first time ever. Both the teams are relatively new to the 20-over format cricket. Sweden happened to play their first T20I match this season against Denmark which concluded on Sunday, August 15. The series ended on 2-1, with Sweden winning one match out of the three played. In the first T20I Denmark posted 103 runs with 6 wickets down to which Denmark chased the target comfortably to score 111 runs and won the match by 8 runs. In the second T20I, Sweden registered their one and only win by 3 wickets. However in the third match, Denmark thrashed Sweden again by 6 wickets to secure the series win.

Finland, on the other hand, last played five T20I matches in 2019. They first played a two-match series against Denmark and lost both the matches to their opponent. Later they went into a three-match series against Spain. They registered only one win in the three matches played in total. This was the last match that Finland played at their home ground, Kerava National Cricket Ground. While Sweden will be joining this fixture on the back of a recently concluded T20I series, Denmark will be playing the 20-over cricket match after an interval of a year's time. Meanwhile take a look at the top betting tip picked from the FIN vs SWE match prediction.

Sweden To Take A Lead

Sweden and Finland are comparatively new entrants in the 20-over format cricket. While Finland have played five matches in total, Sweden has played three so far. The first of which was played this season. Finland has been out of touch and form and will be playing this fixture after a discontinuity of a year's time. Both the teams have played against Denmark. While Sweden managed to win one match against Denmark, Finland failed to do the same in 2019. Hence it is fair to say that Finland does not have a good record against Denmark. Also considering the fact that Sweden have recently played a T20I series, they will be in touch with the game and will be in a better form than their opponent, Finland.

While Finland have only won one match playing at the Kerava National Cricket Ground, Sweden will be playing their first match at the venue. Sweden will be captained by Abhijit Venkatesh who has 59 runs to his name from the three T20I matches played so far at an average of 19.66. In the recently concluded T20I match against Denmark, Wynand Boshoff, Rahel Khan and the captain, Abhijit Venkatesh made some major contributions to the team. Both the teams will make an effort to win this debut match but looking at the statistics Sweden are likely to beat Finland. Bet on this FIN vs SWE betting odds to make money from.
