In the 17th match of the European Cricket Championship T10 tournament 2021, Norway will lock horns with Spain. The Cartama Oval in Cartama, Spain, will host this Group A clash.

Both sides are coming off a win in their previous game. Norway beat Luxembourg convincingly and it was their second win of the competition. Batting first, Luxembourg put 72 on the board, losing seven wickets. Hayatullah Niazi and Prithvi Bhart picked up two wickets each as Norway were brilliant on the field.

Openers Raza Iqbal and Khizer Ahmed got off to a flyer as the team chased down the total in the fifth over with nine wickets in hand. This win has boosted their confidence and they will be eager to carry the momentum in their next game against Spain.

The Spaniards, on the other hand, are on a roll in the competition. After losing the opening game against Belgium, they have turned the tables as they have won their next four completed games. Spain's last match against Sweden was a thriller of a contest. Their batsmen disappointed while batting first as they were knocked over for 87.

The bowlers then stepped up as the run-scoring for Sweden became difficult. With only four runs required in the last over, Atif Mehmood bowled exceptionally well as Spain won the game by a solitary run. They are high on confidence and will be looking to go past an equally confident Norway side in their upcoming clash.
