The Cyprus T10 League 2020 is at the halfway point of the group stage action, with all the five teams having played four matches each. Another 10 league stage matches are scheduled over the next three days, which would decide the four semi-final spots.
Riyaan CC, Nicosia Tigers CC and Cyprus Eagles CTL have all won three of their four matches to have 6 points in their respective kitties. Riyaan CC, whose only loss came against Nicosia Tigers CC, occupy the top spot in the points table due to their superior net run rate.
Nicosia Tigers CC are placed second on the points table with their net run rate being better than Cyprus Eagles CTL, who are the only team to have defeated them. The latter suffered their only loss against the table-toppers Riyaan CC.
Nicosia XI Fighters CC is the other team to have won a match in the Cyprus T10 League 2020. Their solitary victory came against Sri Lankan Lions Limassol CC but they were on the receiving end in their clashes against the teams occupying the top three spots in the table.
