Norway wins Nordic Cup Twenty20 tournament

Norway defeated a Danish representative team twice in two days in win last month's Nordic Cup Twenty20 tournament in Copenhagen.
The Norwegians maintained an unbeaten record after defeating Denmark by four runs in the final. Sweden took third place in the four team tournament, beating Finland by 112 runs in the play-off match.
The competition proved a positive workout for Norway ahead of the World Cricket League Division Six tournament in Singapore later this month.
It is understood Norway rested five first choice players for the Nordic Cup, in which the ICC's eligibility rules applied. CricInfo has received conflicting reports about the strength of the Danish squad.

It is good to see competition being played outside of the test world that isn't just the WCL or Intercontinental Cup, The Danish side has been an improving one for some time now, and they seemed to do quite well, although it is interesting to see that Norway were the eventual victors. Congratulations to them, they have been another or europes lower teams that have shown positive signs of improvement and developemtn in the last few years. I hope they do well in the WCL.

I thought Denmark is better than the other sides in Scandinavia.
Good to see Norway registering 2 wins in 2 days over Denmark.
