Commentary

That's it for our coverage, folks! Let's hope the rain will stop soon and we'll have the rest of the matches of this tournament as scheduled. For now, this is the pair of Rudransh and Bidipto bidding adieu.

Update: The match has been called-off due to rain. Cyprus and Greece will share points. The rain has washed off the second match of this tournament so far. Not the way they would have liked but Cyprus have their first points on the board.

Cyprus 104/6 (10 overs) | Greece 2/0 (0 overs)

Cyprus will be the unhappier side among the two. They put up the best batting performance in the tournament and looked up for the fight. They started really well with all of the top-four getting starts and using a bit of lady luck to push the score forward before losing a bit of steam at the end.

Greece did have the batting power to chase 105 but it could have been a tricky chase in conditions favorable for bowlers. Unfortunately, rain started pelting down just before the second innings and we only saw two balls in the chase, that too both wides as Ahmad failed to get his run-up right in difficult conditions.

Okay so everyone's walking off. The rain has gotten very, very heavy. The covers are coming on. Umpires and match officials are helping the work too. Let's hope it's just a passing shower.

0.1 Shoaib Ahmad to Shabbir Arslan, WIDE outside the line of off-stump on this occasion.

0.1 Shoaib Ahmad to Shabbir Arslan, WIDE down the leg-side to start things off with!

We are back! It's drizzling here but the match looks like it will go on. Shabbir Arslan and Sinan Khan are at the pitch to open the innings. Shoaib Ahmad has the new ball in hand.

End of the innings!

Cyprus end their 10 overs at 104/6. Greece need 105 runs to win in 60 balls.

Georgios Galanis (2/20) | Shabbir Arslan (2/24)

Cyprus had an innings like a race car which ran out of gas just before the finish line and had to be pushed across. Mazumder and Deol provided a good start, despite edging almost every boundary they hit. Greece were slightly unlucky but more sloppy in the field in the powerplay.

Both openers fell in back-to-back overs to Arslan and Vasilakis but Ahmad and Lovedeep kept the momentum going by stretching the luck even more and hitting a lot of cross-batted slogs. Asrar, one of the major targets of the assault, ended his spell by getting Ahmad out an Lovedeep finally ran out of his luck against Galanis' excellent leg-breaks.

Two new batters allowed Galanis to attack a bit more in the ninth before Arslan kept the batters quiet in the last over as well. At one stage Cyprus looked like they can get 150 but this is their best effort in the tournament so far. Expect them to put bodies on the line to chase this down.

9.6 Shabbir Arslan to Vimal Khanduri, full toss on leg-stump. Turned away with force down to deep backward square-leg for a single. They try to run back for two and make it in the end after the throw to the keeper is not a good one! Cyprus finish with 104/6.

9.6 Shabbir Arslan to Vimal Khanduri, full and WIDE down the leg-side on this occasion! This will have to be reloaded.

9.5 Shabbir Arslan to Hardeep Singh, THAT'S OUT! Full on off-stump. Heaved to deep mid-wicket off the back foot flat but straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket for a good catch!

Shabbir Arslan [1-0-17-0] comes back into the attack

Galanis came to his own in that ninth over! Kept it slow and away from the bat to induce the edges and the catches and tanked all the Cyprus momentum.

8.6 Georgios Galanis to Roshan Siriwardana, short and wide outside off-stump. Roshan leaves it on line to try and get a wide but the umpire reckons it is just inside the tramline. Dot ball.

8.5 Georgios Galanis to Roshan Siriwardana, good length ball around off-stump. Bunted down to the wide mid-off region from the back foot for a couple after a slight misfield!
