The artificial turf here at the Ypsonas cricket ground had favoured the batsmen in one of thr previous leg played here. The trend is expected to continue and the bowlers will have to again rely on their change of pace to outfox the batsmen.
According to Accuweather, the weather will be warm and sunny with no chance of precipitation. The maximum temperature is expected to be 34 degree centigrade with humidity around 45 percent. Expect a full 20-over game of cricket.
Still pretty early days in the tournament but no team can afford to slip up. As we have seen in the previous legs of ECS, a team that gains the initial momentum, more often than not ends up winning the title.

Going by the first match, the batsmen can feel incredibly good about their chances of scoring on this pitch. The deck is hard and ball comes onto the bat rather nicely, allowing the batsmen to hit through the line.
A comfortable win for Cyprus Eagles CTL as they beat Nicosia XI Fighters CC by 56 Runs..!! After being put into bat first, they put up a huge total of 164 runs on the board in their 10 overs. In the chase Nicosaia XI Fighters CC got off to a good start but slowly began to struggle and post the halfway stage lost the plot completely as they were pushed onto the back foot by some economical bowling from the Cyprus Eagles. In the end Cyprus Eagles manage to pull off a comprehensive victory.
That's all we have today from this the live coverage of the second match of ECS T10 Cyprus league between Cyprus Eagles CTL and Nicosia XI Fighters CC. This is me Azhar, along with my colleague Pradeep signing off. We hope you enjoyed our coverage
