CYPRUS EAGLES WIN BY 5 WICKETS! The Cyprus Eagles were definitely on top once the Tigers kept losing wickets at regular intervals in the first innings. The second innings was all about how many overs will the Eagles batters take to finish off the run-chase.
The Tigers bowlers did well to take 5 wickets in a run-chase where the batters were never under pressure. That was some ordinary cricket on the part of the Cyprus Eagles batters. Srinivas Angarekkala was the top-scorer for them who did not waste time scoring 22 runs with the help of 5 fours.
Ataur Rahman picked 3 wickets in his 2 overs giving away 17 runs. Harpreet Singh was the only other bowler, out of the 6 that they used, who has something to show in the wickets column. In the end, the run-chase lasted 8 overs and the better side won!
That will be all from me (Sameer Deodhar) and my colleague Pratyush Rohra from this game! We at Sportskeeda will continue to bring all the live updates from ECS cricket! Don't forget to tune back in. Until then, stay safe and take care!

7.6 Faysal Mia to Tirupathi Sandireddy, FOUR! SANDIREDDY FINISHES IT OFF! Full delivery on the stumps, Sandireddy creams it over the bowler's head and beats the fielder to long-off. Cyprus Eagles beat Nicosia Tigers by 5 wickets!
7.5 Faysal Mia to Naresh Kumar, back of a length delivery into Kumar, moves inside the line to paddle this to fine leg for one
7.4 Faysal Mia to Tirupathi Sandireddy, full delivery angling into the pads, Sandireddy clips this through mid-wicket for a single
7.3 Faysal Mia to Naresh Kumar, full delivery wide of off-stump, Kumar laces a square drive behind point to trot back for a couple
7.2 Faysal Mia to Tirupathi Sandireddy, DROPPED! Full delivery outside off-stump, Sandireddy lofts this over deep cover and the fielder does well to get there, can't hold on though
7.1 Faysal Mia to Tirupathi Sandireddy, OH! Back of a length delivery outside off, Sandrireddy looks to cut, misses!
Eagles are dragging this contest unnecessarily here. 8 more runs needed off the final 3 overs. This should be done in this over. Faysal Mia coming back..

6.6 Roman Mazumder to Naresh Kumar, back of a length delivery skidding into Kumar, crashes into the pads above the knee roll. Not out.
6.5 Roman Mazumder to Naresh Kumar, gets away with one there! Wide outside off-stump but Kumar shuffled across, so that's not given
6.5 Roman Mazumder to Naresh Kumar, wide. Sprayed down the leg side for a wide. Eagles just two hits away now!
6.4 Roman Mazumder to Tirupathi Sandireddy, low full toss outside off-stump, eased down to long-off for a single
6.3 Roman Mazumder to Tirupathi Sandireddy, darts in another yorker on the fourth stump line, Sandireddy ends up with a swing and a miss
6.2 Roman Mazumder to Tirupathi Sandireddy, fires in a yorker that somehow ends up missing the leg-stump. Not like it would matter
6.2 Roman Mazumder to Naresh Kumar, full toss outside off-stump, Kumar has to reach out for it to drive it towards sweeper cover. No ball!
6.1 Roman Mazumder to Naresh Kumar, FOUR! SHOT! Overpitched delivery outside off-stump, Kumar just leans into a crisp cover drive and there's no chance for the fielder in the deep. Top shot!
There are some blips on the Eagles' road to victory here as they have lost half their side while chasing 65! Still 16 runs to go and we might see a few more wickets before (and if) they get there!
