Korea started So Hyeong-jun, and the Czech Republic sent Danielle Padisak as the starting pitcher.

Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009, failed to advance to the quarterfinal knockout stage in the next three tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it aims to advance to the main knockout stage for the first time in 17 years.
