Seven top Cypriot teams feature over 12 days in 46 much-anticipated T10 matches from Limassol. Every game will be live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.
Cyprus Eagles, bolstered by some outside help, enjoyed a good run at European Cricket Series Cyprus last summer finishing runners-up - losing to Riyaan CC in a nailbiting finale.
This season, CES enjoyed a modest first tournament finishing fifth. CES started off well in the recent Encore tournament, but soon slipped to seven consecutive losses in the latter half, including the Bronze Final match.
Cyprus Eagles will be looking to fly higher this time around.
