Preview:
Finland will host Sweden in the 4-match T20I series, which be played on 21st and 22nd August. Finland are still in their early days at their International level. The last time they played a T20I was in 2019, when they took on Spain in the 3-match T20I series and lost by 2-1. With plenty of cricket going on in Europe, it’s a perfect opportunity for them to make a name for themselves.
On the other hand, Sweden toured Denmark for a 3-match T20I series last week. They lost in the decider by 6 wickets and eventually lost the series 2-1. With recent T20I experience, Sweden will look to fancy their chances of winning this series.
