When it comes to team sports, India and Spain are not in the same league, except in the case of hockey. India defeated Spain to win the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics earlier this month, but when it comes to cricket and football, India and Spain are miles ahead of each other respectively. Interestingly, though, the Spanish cricket team has beaten India’s massive record in T20Is and even created a world record in the shortest format of the game.
Team India holds the record for winning the most consecutive T20Is among the top 12 nations. The men in blue have won 12 consecutive matches in this format, which is a record among major cricket teams along with Afghanistan. But if all nations playing the shorter format are considered, Spain now own that record, having won 14 matches in a row with their victory over Greece in the European T20 World Cup Sub-Regional C Qualifier in Guernsey.
Spain broke Team India’s record last week on Thursday (August 22) by beating the Czech Republic by just one run and overtook Malaysia and Bermuda in this regard with a seven-wicket win over Greece on Sunday (August 25) at the Guernsey Rovers Athletic Club Ground, Port Soif. For the unversed, Malaysia and Bermuda jointly held the previous world record for winning the most consecutive T20Is having won 13 matches in a row.
Spain have not lost a single T20I in their last 14 outings dating back to February 25, 2023. As for India, the team has won 12 consecutive T20Is from November 2021 to February 2022. Afghanistan is the other major Test-playing nation with the same record as they have also won 12 consecutive T20Is from February 2018 to September 2019.
