NORWAY Key Players:

Raza Iqbal, the Norway captain is a brilliant all-rounder, who played a key role in helping Norway top the Group C of 2018 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier. He made 125 runs and took 9 wickets at an economy of 3.35 in the tournament. In the Regional qualifiers in 2020, he took five wickets with his left-arm wrist spin. 

Faizan Mumtaz, the aggressive right-arm quick and lower-order batter played a key role in the  2018 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, but is yet to play an international T20I after Norway's matches got ICC recognition. 

Pritvhi Bhart, right arm wrist spin bowler, Bhart gets good flight and turn and was very economical the last time these teams met.  His three overs leaked just 12 runs then. The all-rounder has played five T20Is till date.

 

Match Prediction: Norway have lost their last five matches and have a tough start to the day against hosts Germany. Norway will need to play really well to test France, who are strong favourites.
