Get ready for an exciting showdown as Scotland XI (SCO-XI) and Portugal (POR) gear up to face off in Group F – Match 1 of the European Cricket Championship 2023. This thrilling match is set to unfold at the Cartama Oval, Spain. Intriguingly, these two teams have never met in a T10 match before, adding an element of unpredictability to the fixture.

Looking back, Scotland XI's previous outing in ECC 2022 saw them engage in a high-octane Eliminator against England XI. Despite a valiant effort, they fell short by 8 runs in their pursuit of England XI's total of 155 runs. Kess Sajjad's explosive half-century and Oli Hairs' pivotal 38 runs showcased their batting prowess.

On the other hand, Portugal's recent foray into the ECI Hungary 2023 witnessed them taking on Sweden. Regrettably, they succumbed to a 29-run defeat as Sweden posted a formidable total of 175 runs. Najam Shahzad's impressive all-round performance, which included 14 runs and two wickets, along with Sharn Gomes' commendable 48, underlined their fighting spirit.
