Preview:
Gibraltar will take on Switzerland in the second match of Valletta Cup 2021. This match is scheduled to be played at the Marsa Sports Club in Marsa on Friday. It is going to be a 4-team tournament that started on October 21st. Gibraltar and Malta played the opening match of the competition, where Malta went on to defeat the opposition for 61 runs. Gibraltar have to make a quick comeback before things go away from their hand.
Coming to Switzerland, they would be short on on-field experience and playing conditions when compared to Gibraltar. They also look like a settled team and would be eager to kick off their campaign on a winning note. Switzerland has some exciting players on the paper and it will be interesting to see who’s going to grab the two invaluable points in the first match of Friday.
