Italy and the Netherlands have qualified for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be played in India and Sri Lanka. This is the first time that Italy has qualified for a cricket ICC World Cup.
The sides – Italy and the Netherlands – met in one of the two all-important fixtures at ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Europe Qualifier at The Hague in Switzerland.
The Netherlands beat Italy by nine wickets, while Jersey shocked Scotland with a one-wicket victory off the final ball of the match which saw the Scots eliminated from the running for the first time in four Men’s T20 World Cup events.
Both Italy and Jersey had five points in the log standings, but the former secured their place at the main event by virtue of a superior net run rate.
