Luxembourg takes on Belgium in Match 10 of the ECC T10 on Tuesday, 14th September. The match will be played at the Cartama Oval in Spain.
Luxembourg haven't started their campaign well, losing their first match against Belgium by 83 runs. They were handed their second defeat of the tournament by Sweden later in the day.
Tony Whiteman’s half-century knock went in vain as Luxembourg failed to chase down the 127-run target given to them, losing by 22 runs. On a day that Luxembourg might want to forget, there were a few positives for a side like Whiteman's form with the bat and Ansh Trivedi’s charm with the ball.
Belgium, on the other hand, have had a dream start to their tournament. They beat Spain by a sizeable margin in the first game and beat Luxembourg in their second fixture. Saber Zakhil was the star with the bat in hand, scoring a 13-ball 43 against Spain and an 18-ball 53 against Luxembourg. Shagharai Sefat was the star with the ball for Belgium, plugging the flow of runs and picking up a wicket each in both matches.
