The 2021 Germany Tri-Nation Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Germany between 5 and 8 August 2021.[1][2] It was originally due to be played in May 2021,[3] but was postponed due to a new lockdown in Germany caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
The participating teams were the hosts Germany, along with France and Norway.[5] Spain were also scheduled to participate in a quadrangular event, but withdrew on 28 July due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions.[6] The matches were all played at the Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground, part of the German Cricket Federation's National Performance Centre in the city of Krefeld.[7] These were the first official T20I matches to be played in Germany since the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full T20I status to all competitive matches between its members from 1 January 2019.[8][9][10]
Germany won the tournament, beating Norway by six wickets in the final.[10][11]
