2020 T20I Nordic Cup

The 2020 T20I Nordic Cup was a planned Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that had been due to take place in Denmark between 26 and 28 August 2020.[1] The participating teams were to be the hosts Denmark, along with Finland and Germany.[2] The six-match double round-robin series, followed by a final, would have been played at Svanholm Park in Brøndby.[3] The visiting sides were each also scheduled to play a warm-up match against the hosts on 25 August 2020 prior to the start of the tournament.[4] Denmark had also prepared for the tournament by hosting a tour of the Norwegian national team that consisted of two 50-over matches and four unofficial Twenty20 matches between 27 and 31 July 2020, with Denmark winning both of the 50-over matches and the T20 series ending level at two wins apiece.[5][6]
