Pitch Report
The Ypsonas Cricket Ground is a batting heaven in ECS T10 Cyprus. Every match has seen a minimum score of 100 on the board. The ball has come on to the bat easily resulting in batsmen enjoying it able to play their shots freely.
On the other hand, the pitch has assisted both swing and bounce and one can expect it to remain the same. The fast bowlers seem to be more effective in the initial overs of the game and the spinners haven't had any impact.
