Brothers XI Portugal

Brothers XI Portugal is a remarkable cricket team hailing from the scenic landscapes of Portugal, with a charismatic mix of passion and determination inherent to its core. The team was established in 2006, embracing the spirit of cricket in a nation where football predominantly claims the spotlight. Despite the sport's less widespread popularity, Brothers XI has carved its niche, not just as a cricket team but as a community that cherishes camaraderie and sportsmanship.

Over the years, Brothers XI Portugal has been a beacon for cricket enthusiasts in the region, amassing several accolades and modestly asserting their presence in local and international circuits. The team's crowning achievement came in 2013 when they clinched the prestigious Iberian Cup—a testament to their hard work and dedication. While the trophy cabinet might not be overflowing, the stories etched in the memories of players and fans alike are valuable treasures.

At the heart of the team are key players whose performances have lit up various contests. Among them, João Silva, the charismatic captain, stands out with his astute leadership and adept all-round abilities. Alongside him, Raimondo Pereira’s pace bowling has often been the turning point in close games, bringing his family and the team's followers immense pride.

When it comes to notable fixtures, the roller-coaster rivalries with minnows across the Iberian Peninsula have provided a handful of nerve-jangling matches. These encounters, filled with fluctuating fortunes, have been etched into the team's folklore, driving players to emerge resiliently even after tough defeats.

Brothers XI has long championed a playing style characterized by spirited fielding and relentless pursuit of achievable targets, underpinning their strategy with a field-first approach that capitalizes on the strengths of their bowling attack. They've cultivated a reputation for being disciplined yet bold—a style that reflects the diverse backgrounds of their players.

The team holds its matches at the scenic Lisbon Cricket Club grounds, albeit without the conventional roar of a packed house. Nevertheless, their ardent followers, though small in number, produce a vibrant patchwork of support, often renowned for their warm hospitality and lively cheers—a true expression of the community spirit embedded within the team.

Beyond the boundaries of the cricket pitch, Brothers XI Portugal symbolises more than sport; it serves as a cultural thread that binds its players and fans across borders, celebrating the spirit of cricket—one delivery at a time.
