Recent Form
Luxembourg (Last 5 T20Is – 2W, 3L)
- Beat Switzerland – 140/3 (17.3) chasing 139/9 (20) – 22 Jun 2025
- Lost to Switzerland – 106 all out (17.1) chasing 163/6 (20) – 21 Jun 2025
- Lost to Switzerland – 157/5 (20) chasing 168/8 (20) – 21 Jun 2025

- Beat France – 191/6 (18.5) chasing 187/5 (20) – 15 Jul 2024
Luxembourg have won two of their last five, both in successful run chases. Their batting ceiling is high (191/6 against France) but they can collapse too – 106 all out against Switzerland is a reminder of their vulnerability.
Serbia (Last 5 T20Is – 2W, 3L)
- Beat Slovenia – 160/4 (20) vs 133/6 (20) – 30 Jun 2024
- Lost to Slovenia – 87/7 (20) vs 171/4 (20) – 29 Jun 2024
- Lost to Slovenia – 90/8 (20) vs 133/8 (20) – 29 Jun 2024
- Lost to Bulgaria – 111 all out (18.5) vs 206/5 (20) – 09 Jul 2024
- Beat Bulgaria – 157/2 (19.3) chasing 154/9 (20) – 09 Jul 2024
Serbia mirror Luxembourg’s inconsistency – capable of chasing 157/2 but also posting 87/7 in the same series. Their form heading into this tournament has been stop-start.
Head-to-Head
These two sides will have met for the first time ever in the T20I on Friday, June 26 at this same venue. With no historical head-to-head data prior to this tournament, the result from that first meeting will shape the psychology heading into this rematch. The team that won on day one will carry momentum; the team that lost will be looking to level the series.
Statz Projections
The Statz projections model gives Luxembourg the edge once again.
If Luxembourg bat first, their win probability is 53.6% with a projected first-innings total of 156.7 and a match total of 300.4. The P10/P90 range for the first innings is 134-180.
If Serbia bat first, Luxembourg’s win probability sits at 53.9%. The projected first-innings total is 152.1 with a match total of 296.3 and a P10/P90 range of 125-178.
Both projected match totals (296-300) are well above the venue average of 248, consistent with what the model projected for the first meeting between these teams.

Dream11 Tips – Captain and Vice Captain
Captain: Luka Woods (SER) – Projected 121.7 Dream11 points. The all-rounder offers the best fantasy value in this match with 37.4 projected runs and 0.73 projected wickets. His dual contributions make him the standout captaincy choice.
Vice Captain: Alister Gajic (SER) – Projected 106.4 Dream11 points. With 1.98 projected wickets, Gajic is the top wicket-taking option in the match and a reliable source of bowling fantasy points.
Also consider:
- Advyth Manepalli (LUX) – 96.7 projected Dream11 points
- Milad Momand (LUX) – 87.6 projected Dream11 points
- Vukasin Zimonjic (SER) – 84.2 projected Dream11 points
Key Players
Advyth Manepalli (LUX) – Luxembourg’s number three is projected for 43.4 runs across scenarios, the highest batting projection for his side. In a back-to-back fixture like this, his ability to anchor the innings and adapt based on what happened in the first meeting will be crucial.
Luka Woods (SER) – Serbia’s all-rounder is projected for 37.4 runs and 0.73 wickets. Woods was the standout projection in the first meeting too, and if Serbia are to challenge Luxembourg, his all-round contribution will be the foundation.
Alister Gajic (SER) – Projected for 1.98 wickets, Gajic leads the bowling projections again. Having bowled at Luxembourg’s batters the day before, he may have a tactical edge with knowledge of their tendencies.
Milad Momand (LUX) – Luxembourg’s leading bowling threat is projected for 1.56 wickets. His left-arm pace is a point of difference in this match and could trouble Serbia’s top order if conditions offer any early movement.
Conditions
Detailed weather data is unavailable for Scott Page Field. Prague in late June typically delivers warm, dry conditions. With this being the afternoon fixture on day two, the pitch may play slightly differently after hosting three T20 matches – though at associate level, surface deterioration is usually minimal.
Verdict and Betting Angles
No live odds are currently available for this match, but the Statz model has Luxembourg at 53-54% win probability, mirroring the first encounter.
The key variable is what happens on Friday. If Luxembourg win the first meeting, they will carry confidence and may look to make it two from two. If Serbia pull off a surprise, the roles reverse. Regardless of day-one results, the underlying data slightly favours Luxembourg – their more recent match experience and the model’s consistent backing across both scenarios give them the edge.
The projected match total of 296-300 again sits well above the venue average of 248. If totals markets are available, the over could be worth a look given both sides have shown the ability to score 150-plus in recent outings.

Prediction: Luxembourg to edge it again, but expect a tighter contest with both teams having played at this venue the day before.
