Black Caps were the champions in the previous season of ECS Cyprus.
Preview
BCP vs PNL will clash on each other in the Match 21 of ECS Cyprus T10 2024 at the Ypsonas Cricket Ground in Limassol. Both teams find themselves in Group B, meeting for the first time in this edition of the tournament. With significant changes in the squad from the last season, it adds an element of unpredictability to their encounter.
Black Caps come into this match with confidence, having emerged victorious in the Final of ECS Cyprus T10 2023 against Napa Royal Kings. In that thrilling contest, Black Caps posted a total of 76 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 10 overs. Pawandeep was the top performer with the bat, contributing 29 runs. The bowling unit, led by Chetan Sharma, Mangala Gunasekara, and Gurpreet Singh, held their nerve and took two wickets each, securing a narrow two-run victory as Napa Royal Kings managed only 74 runs in 10 overs for the loss of nine wickets.
Punjab Lions Nicosia, on the other hand, faced a setback in their last outing against CIYMS in the European Cricket League 2023. Scoring 84 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in 10 overs, they fell short as CIYMS chased the target in eight overs for the loss of two wickets. Sushil Kumar’s contribution of 24 runs and Taranjit Singh’s bowling effort with one wicket were notable, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win.
