ECC T10 2021: Spain vs Luxembourg Match 11 - Preview, Predicted XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details
Spain will take on Luxembourg in Match 11 of the ECC T10 on Wednesday at the Cartama Oval in Spain.
Luxembourg have failed to find their mojo in the shortest format of the game, losing all three of their completed fixtures. They lost to Belgium in their tournament opener by 83 runs. Later on the same day, Sweden handed Luxembourg their second defeat, beating them by 22 runs.
After their fixture against Spain was washed out, Luxembourg went down to Belgium in an edge-of-the-seat encounter. Spinner Harpal Singh brought in some drama, picking up two wickets in the third over of Belgium's innings. At that time, Belgium were sailing smoothly and looked good to reach home comfortably.
Heading into day three of the tournament, all eyes will be on Tony Whiteman, Ansh Trivedi and Harpal Singh as Luxembourg look to claw their way back into contention.
Spain, meanwhile, have won two of their three completed matches. After losing their tournament opener against Belgium, Spain staged a strong comeback, beating Norway and Sweden in their next two games.
Belgium beat Spain by four wickets, chasing down a modest 95-run target. In their second fixture, Spain bounced back by beating Norway convincingly, chasing down a daunting 113-run target in just 7.1 overs.
Next, Spain beat Sweden by 12 runs, defending 72 runs in five overs. Spain captain Chris Mills, bowler Kuldeep Lal and opener Hamza Salem will need to play crucial roles as Spain look to carry their winning momentum forward against Luxembourg.
