Punjab Lions vs Nicosia Tigers, ECS T10 League - Cyprus
High-flying Punjab Lions will bid to record yet another win against Nicosia Tigers as they look to continue their fine form at the ECS Cyprus T10 tournament. The favourites meet the 2019 national T20 champions at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground, Limassol, on July 23 and the live action starts at 11:00 local time.
The Lions won three from three on Wednesday after the tournament was hastily re-drawn, taking them to seven consecutive wins in ECS T10 cricket. That included a dominant win against Nicosia Tigers, as Mangala Gunasekara (63) and Kulwinder Singh (53) helped fire them to 160/3 and a 55-run victory.
Nicosia Tigers’ defeat in that game was one of two on the day as their bowlers suffered against Cyprus Moufflons and the Lions. They had previously lost three from four in the original tournament too.

PNL Team News
Tejwinder Singh and Zeeshan Mehmood did not feature last time out, with Neeraj Tiwari and Mangala Gunasekara returning instead. Generally this season, the Lions have been consistent – the team that starts the day could play this one too.
PNL Key Players
- Kulwinder Singh: Hit a half-century when these teams last met – one of two on the last day – to continue his fine batting form and he is an excellent bowler too.
- Gurapatrap Singh: After missing the first day of the original tournament he has made an impact with either bat or ball in every game since.
- Waqas Akhtar: The wicket-taking bowler has been in excellent form with the ball so far in this tournament.
PNL Team Form
After four wins from four in the original tournament, Punjab Lions started with three wins from three in this one too. That included – as it did in the original set of matches – a big win against Nicosia Tigers. Kulwinder Singh’s batting and Waqas Akhtar’s bowling have been key factors in their fine form. They play Amdocs prior to this match.
