I'd rather say that He's crucified on Thursday.....
Friday (the preparation day for the Sabbath) is the only possible crucifixion day. If Jesus was crucified Thursday, Cleopas could not have said Sunday was third day since all this took place. If he was crucified Thursday, then Sunday would have been the 4th day since the handing over and the crucifixion.
Remember, Sunday was the third day since "all this took place," the handing over to the rulers and the crucifixion, not just since the burial.
Luke 24:20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.
