Match 2 of the Central Europe Cup T20 will see Austria take on Luxembourg at the Vinor Cricket Ground in Prague on Friday.
Austria enter the Central Europe Cup T20 as the hot favorites, given their superior experience and depth. The likes of Bilal Zalmai and Razmal Shigiwal will be key for them with the bat. With the experience of ECS cricket under their belts, Austria will look to get their Central Europe Cup T20 campaign off to the perfect start at the expense of minnows Luxembourg.
Luxembourg, on the other hand, will be playing their second Central Europe Cup T20 game of the day and will have a better idea of the conditions. Led by wicket-keeper batsman Joost Mees, Luxembourg have a talented yet inexperienced side, capable of springing a surprise or two in the Central Europe Cup T20. Although they will start as underdogs, Luxembourg's bowling attack will be key against Austria's power-packed batting unit in what promises to be a cracking game of cricket in Prague.

Pitch Report
As seen in the ECS T10 Prague 2021, the pitch at the Vinor Cricket Ground is a good one to bat on. Apart from the odd ball keeping low, the batsmen will ideally target the shorter boundaries and look to keep the scoreboard ticking at all times. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play. Both teams will look to bat first and make good use of the conditions.
