Coimbra Knights, Gorkha 11, Indian Royals, Malo, Oeiras, Oporto and Miranda Dragons feature over 23 successive evenings in 46 hotly-anticipated T10 night matches from Portugal. Every game will be live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.
Boasting valuable European Cricket Series experience, Gorkha 11 and Malo will be the teams to beat at FanCode Portugal T10 this month.
Malo reigned supreme at the European Cricket Series Cartaxo last summer, but only just survived a scare against Gorkha 11 (playing as Rossio CC) in the semi-final. Malo did not look back in the final, bundling Alvalade CC out for only 45, which MAL reached effortlessly for no loss.
Oeiras came fourth in Cartaxo after losing the Bronze Final to Gorkha 11 by just five runs, and were also on the receiving end of a Golden Ball defeat to the same opposition.
Indian Royals featured as Royal CC Lisbon at Cartaxo and have a host of talent in their ranks. IR will be eyeing the knockout stages, using their previous ECS experience.
Coimbra Knights enjoy local knowledge and will aim to use home advantage to string a few victories together.
Oporto also known as "Oporto Cricket & Lawn Tennis Club" are something of an unknown quantity in this format, but are sure to have some exciting talent in their ranks aiming to impress.
Miranda Dragons, Coimbra Knights nursery team, are definitely on a steep learning curve in this tournament and will hope to avoid the wooden spoon.
