Riyaan CC are favourites to win
Two players who put in headline-grabbing performances in their teams’ first matches go head-to-head when Cyprus Moufflons face Riyaan CC in the CCA BAO Financial T20 Cup. The match takes place at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground on July 5 and the live action is scheduled to start at 08:00 local time.
Both teams have won one from one so far. Ravi Kumar took 6-8 for Cyprus Moufflons in their opening game as they bowled Nicosia XI Fighters out for 58 before claiming a dominant nine-wicket victory.
Atta Ullah made even wider headlines for Riyaan CC last weekend, however, when he smashed 251* from 80 balls in a total of 311/1 against Limassol Gladiators. The monstrous score was enough for a 185-run victory that unsurprisingly put them top of the group after one match.

Cyprus Moufflons may stick with the side that dominated last time out, though even in their big win Gurdeep Sharma was poor – conceding 21 runs from his only over and scoring a seven-ball duck with the bat. He could be moved down the batting order.

Riyaan CC have tended to be consistent with their line-ups in past seasons. After a dominant win first up, it could be a similar team for this match.
Riyaan CC are playing their first match of this season’s tournament.
