TEAMS PREVIEW

Belgium Preview

Belgium head into the fresh campaign at ICC T20 World Cup Europe Sub Regional Qualifier 2026 with a winning mindset. They secured a title in the Continental Cup 2026. They beat Romania by eight runs to secure the title. Belgium remained unbeaten throughout the campaign. They beat Hungary in the semifinals. They have a good chance to reach next round in the qualifiers. 

Belgium have a strong pool of young players and they rely on their top order. They chased down 140 runs against Gibraltar in 15.4 overs. Aziz Mohammad smashed 67 off 47 balls. They posted 184 runs in the Continental Cup final and 211 runs in the semifinals. In both games, they defended the total. They will now take on Serbia next. 

Aziz Mohammad would be a player to watch out for. He scored three fifties in the last six games. He is also handy with the bowl. We back him to score above 25 runs in the contest. Omid Malik Khel scored 204 runs in 5 innings during the Continental Cup. Zaki Shah bagged seven wickets in the tournament. 

Belgium Predicted Playing XI:

Aziz Mohammad Babakrkhail, Omid Rahimi, Ali Raza(w), Omid Mailk Khel, Sheraz Sheikh(c), Burhan Niaz, Ahmad Khalid Ahmadzai, Faisal Khaliq, Said Hakim, Ravi Thapliyal, Zaki Shah

Serbia Preview

The Serbia national cricket team made a poor start in the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Sub Regional Qualifier. Their first assignment was against Romania and they suffered an eight-wicket loss. They posted 136/5 while batting first and Romania crossed the line in 12.3 overs. They last appeared in the Central Europe Cup and lost all four games. 

Serbia also featured in the Cyprus tri-series and lost all games. Serbia played Romania twice and lost both games convincingly. Their last T20 victory came against Croatia in the Eastern Europe Cup. Serbia are a pathetic unit in this format. They will take on Belgium next. When they last met Belgium, they suffered a huge 77-run loss. 

Luka Woods could be a player to watch out for. He was the leading run-scorer for Serbia in the last series with 272 runs. We back him to score above 25 runs in the opening game. Matthew Kostic is also a quality player who can contribute quick runs with the bat. Serbia needs one big partnership to get a challenging total and they require support from Woods. 

Serbia Predicted Playing XI:

Luka Woods, Braithyn Pecic(w/c), Alexander Dizija, Leslie Dunbar, Matthew Kostic, Vukasin Zimonjic, Nemanja Zimonjic, Milan Janicijevic, Sachin Shinde, Aleksa Lazic, Bogdan Dugic

Weather Conditions

The weather at Brondby on 10th July is expected to be cloudy with a high of 18°C and a low of 11°C, along with a 20% chance of rain and north winds at 8 kph. 

BEL vs SRB Pitch Report

The surface at Svanholm Park is good for batting. It also offers a good balance between bat and ball. Spin assistance will be there in the middle overs. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in the Men’s T20I is 144. Even a score of 140 has been defended very well. It is a quality T20I batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively. 

Score prediction: 

If Belgium bat first - 170-180 runs 

If Serbia bat first - 150-160 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five Men’s T20I on this surface, chasing sides won four games. Hungary defended 140 odd runs on this ground. This surface is quite difficult from Koge Cricket Club. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Belgium to win the coin toss.
