The match kicked off with Serbia winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Belgium set a challenging target by scoring 171 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Shaheryar Butt, who scored a brisk 50 off 36 balls, including 3 fours and 4 sixes. Omid Mailk Khel contributed with a steady 39 runs from 44 deliveries.

In terms of partnerships, Shaheryar Butt played a pivotal role, holding the innings together amidst regular fall of wickets. Saber Zakhil added quick runs down the order with a fiery 24 off just 13 balls, enhancing Belgium's total.

Serbia's bowling attack saw Peter Nedeljkovic shine with figures of 3 wickets for 41 runs in his spell of 4 overs. He was well-supported by Wintley Burton, who also took 3 wickets for 28 runs in his three overs. Vukasin Zimonjic chipped in with two crucial wickets to restrict Belgium's run flow.

In response, Serbia struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Belgian bowling attack. Luka Woods top-scored with a modest 26 off 25 balls. Ravi Thapliyal struck early blows for Belgium, taking two key wickets for just 13 runs in his full quota of overs.

Khalid Ahmadi emerged as the pick of the bowlers for Belgium, claiming an impressive three-wicket haul while conceding only 17 runs in his spell. His performance was instrumental in dismantling Serbia's batting line-up.

Despite some resistance from Leslie Dunbar (19 off 30 balls) and Alexander Dizija (11 off 19 balls), Serbia fell short and were all out for just 107 runs in 19.4 overs.

The fielding efforts were highlighted by Matthew Kostic's two catches that helped contain Serbia's batsmen. The collective bowling and fielding efforts ensured Belgium's comprehensive victory.

Overall, Belgium's balanced performance in both batting and bowling departments led them to a well-deserved win, maintaining their campaign momentum in the tournament.
