The 2021 Portugal Tri-Nation Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Portugal between 19 and 22 August 2021.[1] The participating teams were the hosts Portugal, along with Gibraltar and Malta. The matches were played at the Gucherre Cricket Ground, in Albergaria, near to the city of Santarém.[2] These were the first official T20I matches to be played in Portugal since the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full T20I status to all competitive matches between its members from 1 January 2019.[3]
Portugal won the tournament with a perfect record.[4] In the fourth match of the tournament, Maltese pair Bikram Arora and Varun Thamotharam set a new record fourth-wicket partnership in T20Is, when they added an unbeaten 166 runs against Gibraltar.[5]
