Croatia tour of Hungary 2023/24

Croatia tour of Hungary was a bilateral cricket series played in August 2023. It consisted of three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) hosted by Hungary at the GB Oval in Sződliget. This event marked the first official bilateral T20I series between the two nations.

The tour was organized by the Hungarian Cricket Association (HCA) to provide competitive fixtures for the Croatian national team. Both teams are members of the European Cricket Network (ECN), which organizes the continental championship. The series results saw Hungary win the first match by 145 runs. The second match was abandoned without a ball bowled. Hungary won the third match by seven wickets.

Historically, the two teams had not met prior to 2023 in official internationals, though they have competed in regional tournaments like the European Cricket Championship (ECC). Hungary is a more developed associate nation, having won the European Twenty20 Championship in 2010 and 2011. Croatia is in an earlier stage of development. The tour highlights the developmental pathway for emerging European cricket nations, offering ICC ranking points and experience against regional peers. The 2023 tour was distinct from multi-nation events like the Eastern Europe Cup, serving as a dedicated bilateral engagement.
