Key Players
Luka Woods (SRB) – Serbia’s star performer. The right-hand bat and off-spinner scored a magnificent 107 against Luxembourg at this ground, hitting boundaries at will. He also took 2 wickets, making him the standout allrounder in this match. With 172.4 projected Dream11 points, he is head and shoulders above the rest.
Sabawoon Davizi (CZE) – Czech Republic’s premier allrounder. A left-hand bat and right-arm fast-medium bowler, Davizi contributes in both innings. Projected at 128.0 Dream11 points, he will be key to Czech Republic’s hopes of winning at home.
Arun Ashokan (CZE) – The Czech Republic captain is projected at 112.9 Dream11 points. As a right-arm fast-medium bowler who bats in the middle order, Ashokan provides balance and leadership. His previous scores of 258/2 (team total) against Bulgaria show the quality in this side.
Vukasin Zimonjic (SRB) – The right-arm fast-medium bowler took 2 wickets against Luxembourg and is projected at 84.1 Dream11 points. On a surface where pace bowlers have taken 80% of wickets, Zimonjic could be a shrewd pick.

Verdict and Betting Angles
Czech Republic are clear favourites with a 58-59.5% win probability from our model. Their recent form is far superior – 3 wins from 5 compared to Serbia’s 1 from 5. The Czechs have posted 200+ totals twice in their last 5 matches, while Serbia were chased down comfortably by Luxembourg at this ground. No odds are available from bet365 for this match.
Verdict: Czech Republic to win. Home advantage, better form and greater squad depth should see them through. Luka Woods is Serbia’s danger man, but they will need more than one individual performance to topple the hosts.
