Norway secured a 93-71 victory over Iran in their T20I match on 28 August 2026, as part of the Norwegian Tri-National Series. The contest concluded in the early morning hours, with the home side finishing on top by 22 runs.
There is no value left at that margin when you consider what a T20I can throw at you, but the result stands. Norway posted 93, Iran replied with 71. The match, played at 08:30 local time, offered a straightforward contest rather than one that kept spectators on edge.
And here's the thing — Norway's recent run suggests they have been working things out. Over the past fortnight they played five matches: a 199-175 win against Gibraltar, followed by a 149-203 loss to Denmark, then a tight 97-95 victory over Turkey, a 109-105 win against Estonia, and finally a 138-140 defeat to Hungary. By then, this Iran match felt like another step in that process.
The series stands as a development opportunity for Norwegian cricket, with each fixture adding to the experience pool. Iran's presence in the tournament provides exposure that both sides need as they build their T20I programmes. The result today gives Norway something to build on.
