Commentary

Cyprus Moufflons CC beat Nicosia Tigers with 15 balls to spare and 8 wickets in hand

And that, viewers, brings us to the end of the game. An awful bowling display by the NTC makes it easy for the Cyprus CC to win the game. Cyprus CC started off on a very positive note with the deadly duo dealing in boundaries. Soon, Hossain struck twice in quick succession sending the duo back to the pavilion. However, G. Singh 28(21) and the man of the hour Ravi Kumar 26(17) held their nerve and finished things off in style for the Cyprus CC. NTC lost the game in extras as they gave away 23 runs in the form of wides and no-balls. Ravi Kumar is the truly deserving man of the match for his Hattrick with the ball and a valuable knock with the bat.

So, That is it from us here at Sportskeeda, I hope you guys enjoyed our coverage of this match. Do join us for the matches later today. Until then, this is me, Manoj Sarma and my partner Sameer Deodhar, signing off. Stay Safe!
