However, they finished the tournament with a win in the seventh-place play-off against the Philippines, beating them by nine wickets. This is the second match of the tournament for Germany.

Sweden, on the other hand, last played T20I cricket in August 2021. They toured Finland for a four-match series. Sweden lost their first two games. However, they came back to sign the series off on a positive note with wins in the final two T20Is.

Sweden are the third team in the ECI German T20I Tri-Series after Germany and Austria. Sweden will aim to start well and this is an important game for them going ahead in the tournament.

Germany vs Sweden Pitch Report

It is expected to be a balanced wicket. However, they may largely favour the batters as conditions are expected to be good for batting. Quicker bowlers will have some help in the initial stages of the match. The middle overs will be crucial for spinners. Winning the toss and batting first is an ideal choice on this surface as runs on the board will be an advantage.

Germany vs Sweden Match Prediction

Germany will have home advantage. However, their recent form hasn’t been great and they will be under pressure to perform well. Sweden will also face a stiff challenge as they will be playing T20I cricket after a long gap. It should be an interesting battle but Sweden appear to have a better balanced side and are likely to win this contest.

Prediction: Sweden to win
