This may not have been a great wicket for batting at Voorburg but it has produced some compelling cricket. If the Netherlands reached their target then Italy and Jersey would have qualified for the World T20; if the Dutch had got there in less than 14 overs then Jersey qualified, otherwise it was the Italians who would go to India and Sri Lanka. Unfortunately for Jersey the Dutch, after a flying start to their innings, took their foot off the accelerator and decided to cruise to victory. At the end of the 14th over the Netherlands were still 18 short of victory and Jersey's hopes were extinguished.

A sensational last ball win by Jersey that keeps their World Cup hopes alive while Scotland miss out! A disastrous start by the Scots who found themselves 64-6 in a vital game for both sides' hopes in securing a World T20 Finals place with a 61 run 7th wicket partnership between Matt Cross and Mark Watt saving their blushes. A quick start to the chase but with wickets falling at regular intervals Scotland fought their way back into the game. A couple of dropped catches and a missed stumping were to prove costly as Jersey quite literally scrambled over the line.

A fine all round performance from Harrison Carlyon helped Jersey beat their fellow Channel Islanders Guernsey by 22 runs. The off spinning allrounder scored 63 from 50 balls to help Jersey post 160-4 and then took 2-8 opening the bowling. A 124 run partnership between Matthew Stokes (62 not out) and Oliver Nightingale (57) for the fifth wicket saw Guernsey get closer than they perhaps deserved, but the late acceleration was just a little too late and Guernsey were kept to 138-5,.

Batting first after winning the toss, Scotland lost George Munsey early on in their innings, though fellow opener Ollie Hairs was able to score 52 from 35 balls. Contributions also came from Riche Berington (28 from 23) and Charlie Tear (32 from 24) as they scored 148-9 from their 20 overs. Bas de Leede was the pick of the Dutch bowlers with 3-17. A 35 ball knock of 52 by Noah Croes was the top score in the Dutch reply, but the next highest score was Michael Levitt's 22 and they fell just short of their target, being restricted to 142-7 and losing by six runs. Chris Greaves was the pick of the bowlers with 3-26.

The hosts were in action first up against Jersey with the visitors put into bat by Dutch captain Scott Edwards. Zak Tribe top scored for Jersey with 39, with Charlie Brennan's unbeaten 32 towards the end of their innings helping them post 160-7 from their 20 overs. The Netherlands took almost their full quota of overs to chase down their target but that probably flattered Jersey a little. After Michael Levitt was bowled by Harrison Carlyon in the first over, Max O'Dowd and Zach Lion-Cachet added 101 for the second wicket before the latter was out for 50.

The afternoon match saw Italy - with a strong squad looking to pull off a surprise run to the World Cup - take on the unfancied Guernsey side. Italy won the toss and asked their opponents to bat first, restricting them to 122-9 from their 20 overs. Harry Manenti was the pick of the bowlers with 3-17, whilst Tom Nightingale's 35 was the only score of note in the Guernsey innings. Italy had little trouble chasing down their target with Justin Mosca hitting an unbeaten 66 from 37 balls to secure a seven wicket win with six overs to spare.
