The Nicosia Tigers will take on the Black Caps in the fifth and sixth matches of the ECS T10 Cyprus on Wednesday at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground in Limassol.
Nicosia Tigers haven't had a great start to their ECS T10 Cyprus Encore campaign, as they suffered back-to-back defeats against the Sri Lankan Lions. They will now aim to avenge that setback and grab their first win in the tournament.
The Black Caps, meanwhile, were brilliant in the ECS T10 Cyprus, finishing as the runners-up. They were defeated by the Cyprus Moufflons in the final, and will aim to start on a positive note.
