Jersey win 2026 T20 World Cup Qualifier with six-wicket Norway victory
Jersey are through to the next round of qualifying for the 2026 T20 World Cup after winning Sub Regional European Qualifier B in Germany.
The islanders, who had dominated the tournament, beat Norway by six wickets to win the title in Germany.
Ben Ward took 3-9 and captain Charles Perchard 2-5 as Norway could only manage 69 all out off 15.4 overs, with Jersey’s bowlers outclassing their opponents.
In reply, Harrison Carlyon hit 20 and Asa Tribe 21 as Jersey made 71-4 off 7.1 overs.
Jersey qualified for the final after a 165-run win over Serbia, a 167-run victory over Switzerland and a 108-run win against Belgium before their final pool game with Croatia was rained off.
The victory in Germany means Jersey join Scotland, Netherlands and Italy in the final round of European qualifying, which is due to be held next year.
One more place is still up for grabs with 10 teams playing in Guernsey next month in the final Sub Regional European Qualifier.
