21-0: Spain break Australia’s incredible cricket world record with unbeaten run
On Friday, Spain etched their name in cricket history with an incredible 21-0 run, shattering Australia's world record of 20 consecutive cricket victories. This remarkable feat occurred during their qualification bid for the 2028 T20 World Cup, where Spain defeated Finland by eight wickets in a thrilling 132-run chase. Ranked 28th in men's ICC T20I team rankings, Spain's unbeaten streak commenced three years ago against the Isle of Man.
Throughout this period, Spain has also triumphed over fellow European nations such as Jersey, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, and Finland. Their 21st victory surpassed the Australian team's previous record, which began in 2003. Spain first became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1992 and became an associate member in 2017.
With 50 T20Is played since 2019, Spain has achieved an impressive 41 wins and just eight defeats, solidifying their position as a formidable force in Associate cricket.
