The inaugural 2026 EUT20 Belgium tournament features five city-based franchise teams playing a round-robin phase, Super 4 stage and final, with all matches staged at Stars Arena in Zemst, near Brussels. The sides taking part are the Akcel United Brussels, Antwerp Anchors, Ghent Gladiators, JB Bruges and Liège Red Lions, with their squads made up of some of the world’s top white-ball stars of the past decade.

Leading batters

Leading the run-scoring is former Proteas star Rassie van der Dussen with 136 runs after scoring 24, 37 and 66 in his last four matches for Bruges. Josh Brown is hot on his heels with 119 runs, most of which came in his last knock for the Ghent Gladiators against the Antwerp Anchors. Brown smashed eight sixes in a 44-ball score of 85.

Leading bowlers

South Africa’s Thomas Kaber picked up 3/26 for Bruges against the Gladiators, followed by 3/9 against the Red Lions. The left-arm wrist-spinner is top of the wickets list with eight victims at an average of just 9.12 from his four matches. Khalid Ahmadi is second on the wickets list after picking up five wickets in his three matches, returning figures of 2/35, 1/22 and 2/11.
