The Isle of Man will take on Estonia in the fifth match of the Cyprus T20 Cup at the Happy Valley Ground at Episkopi in Cyprus on Friday.
The Isle of Man have exceeded expectations, winning all their matches thus far in the tournament. Beating the formidable hosts twice in two matches, they haven't got bogged down despite playing their maiden T20I tournament. They will look forward to continue this form and winning momentum in their upcoming games.
Estonia, unlike their opponents, have had a rather disappointing start to their T20I Cup campaign. After losing to Cyprus in the recently concluded T20I series, they are still awaiting their first win in this tournament. They will need to put in clinical performances in all departments if they aspire to beat an on-song Isle of Man outfit.
