Thousands of sport fans are expected to flock to Malaga this week as this year’s European Cricket Championship (The EUROS) enters into the final few days.

They’ll be cheering on Spain after the host national was one of five teams to qualify for the finals week, where they will face-off against the reigning champions England.

Spain will attempt to bring the trophy home in front of a home crowd at the Cartama Oval in Fahala, on the outskirts of Malaga city.

Championship week will be tightly contested by the other finalists; the Netherlands, Italy and Scotland.
