Report:
Sweden participated in the Royal Nordic Cup at Svanholm Cricket Ground, Denmark, on 11th and 12th July. The team secured the 3rd place in the Twenty/20 competition with a 50% success rate. Sweden lost its first match against Norway by about 20 runs, but followed that up with a confident win against Finland. This left the team needing a win against Denmark to qualify for the final. Despite a spirited effort from the Swedish players, Denmark proved too strong and chased down a target of 115 for the loss of 5 wickets. Sweden finished the tournament in winning fashion with a resounding victory against Finland to secure the 3rd place. In the final, Norway beat Denmark to become the undefeated winners of the inaugural Royal Nordic Cup. All the Swedish players performed well, with Azam Khalil standing out as the pick of the players.
