Estonia will lock horns against the Isle of Man in the second match of the Cyprus T20I Cup. The Happy Valley Ground in Episkopi, Cyprus will host this game.
Estonia recently competed against Cyprus in a bilateral T20I series. It was a poor performance from the Estonian side as they suffered defeats in both games of the series. On the bright side, Maidul Islam and Habib Khan were good with the bat for the Estonian team.
Habib finished as the highest scorer with 62 runs and also picked up three wickets in the series. Ali Masood picked up four wickets, finishing as the side’s highest wicket-taker.
The Estonian side were good in brief spells of play but failed to hold their nerves in pressure situations. The batters need to step up in the Cyprus T20I Cup to contribute to the team’s progress.
The Isle of Man side, on the other hand, will be playing only their second international game. Matthew Ansell is the captain of the side and will hope to lead by example. The young players must grab the rare opportunities that come their way. Wednesday's game has all the makings of a good contest.
