The Belgium cricket team toured Malta in July 2021 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches at the Marsa Sports Club in Marsa.[2] [3] The Maltese team had been due to play a four-match series in Belgium in 2021,[4] but this was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] As preparation for the series, the Belgium team were scheduled to play four T20 exhibition games against the Netherlands A cricket team in June 2021,[6] but these matches were later cancelled.[7] Malta were declared winners of the fourth T20I after five penalty runs were retrospectively added to their total.[8] [9] Belgium won the series 3–2.[10]
