Nicosia Tigers vs Cyprus Moufflons, ECS T10 League - Cyprus
Cyprus Moufflons will look to make it back-to-back wins against Nicosia Tigers when the two teams meet in the ECS Cyprus T10 tournament. The match, at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground in Limassol, takes place on July 22 and the live action is scheduled to start at 11:00 local time.
The Moufflons beat the Tigers in their most recent match as Ravi Kumar starred with bat and ball in an eight-wicket win. It was the perfect response to their defeat to Punjab Lions and leaves them with three wins from four games going into the third day.

NCT Team News
Roman Mazumder was back on day two, after missing the opening game, while Iftekar Jaman also came in the team with a big impact. There is still likely to be changes after their defeat to the Moufflons last time out, however. Captain Faysal Mia was injured after bowling three balls in that game and he might be one that misses out, having already lost Aizaz Jameel, who retired hurt in the second match after struggling for quick runs.
NCT Key Players
- Iftekar Jaman: Smashed 65 from 31 balls at the top of the order against Limassol to prove his batting worth.
- Anowar Hussain: Hit a vital 41* from 19 balls in the win against Amdocs and took 2-9 when these teams last met too.
- Yasir Khan: Stood in as wicket-keeper for Jameel last time out, hitting 20 from 13 balls, and he can slot into the top-order again for this one.
NCT Team Form
Nicosia Tigers have generally batted not quite well enough. They hit 104/3 as they lost to Punjab Lions, for example and 109/2 in defeat to Limassol Gladiators. In between, however, Anowar Hussain’s 41* sparked a recovery from 31/5 in a total of 117/5 as they beat Amdocs by 11 runs. Last time out, they fell well short, however – hitting 92/9 on the way to an eight-wicket defeat to the Moufflons.

CYM Team News
With Zeeshan Sarwar and Gursewak Singh together at the top of the batting order, it could be a similar side to that which beat the Tigers last time out.
CYM Key Players
- Ravi Kumar: Took 2-11 and 3-8 to reiterate his fine bowling form on day two, and he also batted well when these sides last met too.
- Mehran Khan: Unable to replicate his fine batting form so far, but if he fires he has proved in the T20 Cup he can go very big.
- Zeeshan Sarwar: Capable of quick runs in a range of positions in the top order but he opened last time out and his 16 from eight balls set the tone for a comfortable chase.
CYM Team Form
Cyprus Moufflons hit 168/3 and 114/5 in two big wins on day one, but were then bowled out for 81 as they lost to Punjab Lions in their third match.
They bounced back, however, as Ravi Kumar and Waqar Ali each took three wickets to restrict Nicosia Tigers to 92/9 before Kumar hit 28* to seal an eight-wicket win.
