This was the seventh edition of the Central Europe Cup[5] and the first to have T20I status. These were the first official T20I matches to be played in the Czech Republic since the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full T20I status to all competitive matches between its members from 1 January 2019.[6][7] The 2020 edition would have had T20I status but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9] The Czechs were the defending champions having defeated Hungary in the final of the 2019 edition.[10] Austria won the tournament on their debut at the Central Europe Cup,[11] winning three of their four matches.[12]
