The third-place playoff in the ECS T10 Cyprus League pits Nicosia Tigers CC against Sri Lankan Lions Limassol CC at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground.
Despite being heavily touted as the favourites, the Tigers surrendered quite meekly to Riyaan CC in the semi-finals.
On the other hand, Sri Lankan Lions Limassol have improved drastically over the last few days with a couple of brilliant performances against Riyaan and Cyprus Eagles.
Although Nicosia Tigers are the overwhelming favourites for this game, the previous fixture between the two sides saw the Lions chase down a 100+ score without breaking a sweat.
With both sides looking to end their campaign on a high, one can expect a thoroughly entertaining game in Limassol.

Pitch Report
The bowlers are in for a tough time with there being no respite for them on a placid track at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground.
Although there is some help for the pacers, the batsmen should feel at ease in the middle with no variable bounce off the surface.
100 is a bare minimum at this venue with both sides looking to bat first on winning the toss.
