The Spain cricket team toured Finland in August 2019 to play a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series.[1] These matches had T20I status after the International Cricket Council announced that all matches played between Associate Members after 1 January 2019 would have full T20I status.[2] These were the first T20I matches to be played in Finland.[1] In February 2019, Cricket Finland and Cricket España announced that the series would be hosted at the Kerava National Cricket Ground in August 2019, with Spain agreeing to host a return series against Finland in spring 2020.[3]
After the first day of the T20I series, the teams were tied at one win apiece. Finland recorded their first T20I victory in the opening match by a comfortable 82-run margin, before Spain levelled the series with a 6-wicket win in the second match.[4] On the second day, Spain won the final match by successfully chasing down the Finnish total of 158 with two balls to spare, sealing a 4-wicket victory to take the series 2–1.[5]
