Portugal defeat Spain in cricket, winning by 57 runs after previously losing to Spain in the football World Cup. The result comes in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Sub Regional Qualifier C, where Portugal secures the win over their rivals.
Portugal bat first and post a competitive total of 160 runs. Spain’s chase does not gain traction, and Portugal’s bowlers restrict the opposition to fall short of the target. With the victory, Portugal keeps its qualification hopes for the 2028 T20 World Cup alive.
The outlets frame the match as “revenge,” linking the cricket result to Portugal’s earlier football disappointment, but both reports agree on the key sporting facts: the tournament context, Portugal’s innings total of 160, Spain’s failed chase, and the 57-run margin of victory.
