Italy qualify for T20 World Cup for first time as Jersey miss out
Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier Italy 134-7 (20.0 overs): B Manenti 30; Van der Merwe 3-15 Netherlands 135-1 (20.0 overs): O'Dowd 47*; Kalugamage 1-25 Netherlands won by nine wickets Scorecard; Table Advertisement Italy have qualified for the T20 World Cup for the first time despite suffering a nerve-shredding nine-wicket defeat to the Netherlands. The result simultaneously ended Jersey's hopes of progressing to the tournament in India and Sri Lanka next year as the Dutch finished top of the standings at the European Qualifier in The Hague. Italy finished level on five points with the Channel Islanders, who beat Scotland in a last-ball thriller earlier in the day, but secured second spot thanks to a superior net run rate (+0.612) compared to Jersey's (+0.306). The Italians batted first and their 134-7 meant the Netherlands would have to chase down their total in the 15th over for Jersey to qualify. Advertisement That initially appeared unlikely on a pitch which had looked tricky for batting. However, the Dutch made a flying start to the chase as Michael Levitt and Max O'Dowd put on 71 for the first wicket in 7.3 overs causing Italian hearts to flutter. Italy's spinners Ben Manenti (0-25) and Crishan Kalugamage (1-25) managed to settle the nerves for the Azzurri during the middle overs as they stemmed the run rate with some tight bowling. Jersey's players watched from the pavilion hoping the Dutch could continue their assault but were left crestfallen when O'Dowd and Scott Edwards could not score the requisite number of runs off Grant Stewart's over.

Italy vs Netherlands Live Streaming Info, T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier 2025: When and where to watch; match details
Italy will face Netherlands in the last match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier 2025 tournament at Voorburg Cricket Club on Friday. Italy is on the cusp of securing a maiden berth for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup next year, to be held in India and Sri Lanka, after stunning Scotland by 12 runs on Wednesday. While a win will ensure Italy's place at the showpiece next year, even a narrow defeat against the Dutch will be enough for The Azzurri to qualify for the 2026 T20 World Cup, should neither Jersey or Scotland win their contest, to be held earlier in the day, by a big margin. Italy currently tops the five-team standings, with five points from three matches. Moreover, with a healthy Net Run Rate of +1.722, Italy is in a strong position to secure a historic spot for the T20 World Cup next year. Netherlands is second on the table with four points, but will be eliminated if it loses to Italy since one of Jersey and Scotland (both on three points) will surpass its tally. However, if Netherlands beats Italy, it will ensure a top-of-the-table finish and qualify for next year's T20 World Cup. The battle for the second qualification spot from Europe will then come down to Net Run Rate between Italy and Jersey/Scotland.
