Marcus Cope's 3 for 16 bounced the Czechs out for just 89-9 in pursuit of 164 in a DLS adjusted total.
Wasn't aware but this is a tri-series tournament that also includes Belgium.
Quite refreshingly it seems rather open. Too often in Associate cricket you have one team repeatedly steam-rolling the other. After Luxembourg beat the Czech Republic yesterday, they returned the favour. Was genuinely impressed with figures of 3-20 from Kushalkumar Mendon as the Czech's outstripped their rivals total of 111 in 18.5 overs.
It is Belgium who are in the driving seat, however, as they beat both Luxembourg and the Czechs in games in the afternoon. Those last two fixtures will repeat themselves tomorrow.
