CZK-R vs AUT Team Preview & Squads

Czech Republic

On June 8, 2025, the Czech Republic played its first match at Scott Page Field in Prague against Austria to kick off its tournament. The team struggled to steady their innings, posting 113 runs before being comfortably chased down by Austria without losing a wicket. 

In their second outing, they confronted Norway but once again faltered, managing only 102 for 9 in the allotted 13 overs, a score that fell short by 37 runs after Mansoor Shah’s incisive bowling spell.

These back-to-back defeats left the CZK-R side without a point and revealed vulnerabilities in both batting depth and bowling adaptability. They will need a marked improvement in building partnerships and executing disciplined bowling performances to remain competitive in the remaining matches.
