Spain and Portugal would lock horns in their full T20 International for the very first time in the opening game of revived Iberia Cup 2019. The first game of the tournament is scheduled to be played at La Manga Club Bottom Ground, Cartagena, Murcia on Friday evening.
Well, Spain kept the hard work alive to produce a full and varied T20i calendar since Associate nations were honoured with full T20i status. Spain would want to continue their winning streak as they are coming after defeating Finland 2-1 in a three-game series.
On the other hand, Portugal will be playing their first-ever T20 international. Last T20 games Portugal played was back in 2018 in European qualifier for the T20 World Cup. They won the last game – their only win of the competition against Cyprus to avoid the bottom spot.
The match is set to begin from 6:30 PM IST.
