Amdocs CC vs Nicosia Tigers, ECS T10 League - Cyprus
Both Amdocs and Nicosia Tigers will be looking to get off the mark when they start the second day of the ECS Cyprus T10 tournament against each other. The match takes place at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground, Limassol, on July 21 and the live action is scheduled to start at 09:00 local time.
Amdocs suffered two heavy defeats on day one, posting 79/4 on their way to a ten-wicket defeat to Punjab Lions and only managing 59/5 in a 55-run defeat to Cyprus Moufflons. At one point in the latter, they were 20/5 after 5.5 overs, to sum up their poor top-order batting form.
Nicosia Tigers only played once, but suffered their own defeat to Punjab Lions in that game. Faruk Ahmed impressed, and Yasir Khan and Rashidul Hasan chipped in with the bat, but they paid the price for some expensive bowling.
