Match 17 of the ECS T10 Cyprus League 2020 sees the Cyprus Eagles and the Nicosia Tigers facing off against one another in Limassol.
Both teams are already assured of a top-four finish with the pair winning four games each. Despite being touted as heavy favourites at the start of the tournament, the Tigers have struggled for consistency of late.
This hasn't been a problem for the Eagles though, who come into this game with momentum on their side.
The corresponding fixture between the two sides earlier in the tournament saw the Eagles run away with a win - something that could give them the edge ahead of this game.
However, with both teams looking to finish as high as possible in the points table, we should be in for a an enthralling contest.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Ysponas Cricket Ground is a batting friendly strip with the batsmen taking the attack to the bowler from the outset.
However, they should be wary of the new ball bowlers, who should get some movement off the surface.
With the dimensions of the ground also coming into play, 100 is a bare minimum at this venue with batting first being the preferred option.
