Italy, Netherlands Make T20 World Cup 2026 After Dramatic European Qualifiers

Amogh Bodas

Italy finished second in the qualifiers and Jersey narrowly missed out due to their net run-rate.

We have new guests for the ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup 2026. Italy have qualified for the coveted tournament for the first time in their cricketing history. Along with the debutants, the Netherlands will also feature in the T20 World Cup in 2026. The Dutch got to six points in the tournament by winning three of their four games. On the other hand, the debutants, Italy, managed to win two of their four fixtures, ending with five points, citing an abandoned game. The Italians finished with the same number of points as Jersey, but managed to sneak into the top two due to their superior run-rate. Scotland had the most disappointing campaign, as they finished fourth in a campaign of five teams, with just a solitary win.

Former Australian player Joe Burns is leading the Italy side. The most celebrated victory for the Italians was when they beat Scotland, who have already featured in the ICC T20 World Cup, and have played a lot more cricket than the Italians. After Burns opted to bat first, Italy posted a challenging 167/6 on the board. Emilio Gay scored a valiant 50, and Stewart chipped in with an unbeaten 27-ball 44. In response to the total, George Munsey got off to a fantastic start and scored 72. But none of his teammates could make an impact. For the Italians, Harry Manenti scalped a five-wicket haul and helped his team beat Scotland by 12 runs.
