There’s a lot of cricket happening across the world and one such tournament organised by ICC for the associate nations is the 2021 Portugal T20I tri-series. Ever since ICC granted T20I status to every country, all these matches are going to be international games and we’ve actually reached the final day of this T20I series between the hosts, Malta and Gibraltar.
It’s been a great series for Portugal so far with 2 wins in 2 games and they’re playing Gibraltar in Match 5 earlier today. Later in the day, they’ll be in action in the game we’re talking about, which is Match 6 and the final game of the tournament, against Malta. The latter has 2 wins in 3 games and will be vying for the top spot as well. Keep reading for our complete My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) fantasy preview of the POR vs MAL first game…

Stats that matter
- Head to head in just one T20I, Portugal won by 6 wickets.
- Mien Mehmood – only 20 runs in 2 games so far this series.
- Bikram Arora last 2 scores this series – 66* and 59*.
Portugal
Since the hosts have been bowling out oppositions in low scores this series, remember to pick a number of bowlers which includes the chart-leading Junaid Khan who is 36 years old but is picking wickets, with 4 scalps in his 2 games so far. Apart from him, another good choice for your POR vs MAL fantasy team is their captain and opening bowler Najjam Shahzad who has 3 scalps and also a top score of 33* with the bat.
Now let’s talk about the batsmen. If you’re playing a one-on-one contest, you surely can’t leave Azhar Andani out of your POR vs MAL Dream11 team because he’s got scores of 100 and 46 in his two innings so far, not including the game against Gibraltar earlier today. Opening the batting alongside him is Mien Mehmood who failed in both games but is surely worth a pick, especially if entering yourself into the grand league.
Malta
Captaining the side is Bikram Arora who opens the batting and has good scores in all three games so far in this series, so he should make your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) POR vs MAL fantasy team. Additionally, he bowls in every game and is worth picking as fantasy captain too. Smashing an unbeaten century in the last game which included 8 fours and 6 sixes, Varun Thamotharam is another worthy pick.

We’re looking at another batting option and in that case, Samuel Stanislaus is the perfect pick because he’s only got 44 runs in 3 games and he won’t be a part of too many fantasy teams today, which makes him an x-factor selection for you. On the other hand, there’s Bilal Muhammad who you’d want to pick with the ball. He’s got 4 scalps in 3 games here and has been wicketless just once in 8 games for Malta so far.
