T20 World Cup Europe Sub: Jersey defeated Norway by six wickets at the Krefeld Cricket Ground to claim the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Sub Regional Qualifier B title. The win means Jersey join the Netherlands, Italy, and Scotland at next year’s Europe Qualifier, with one remaining spot to be determined next month.

Led by captain Charles “Chuggy” Perchard, Jersey remain undefeated in the competition, winning three of their group games against Serbia, Switzerland, and Belgium, with the game against Croatia ending without a result. In the final, Jersey were up against Norway, who themselves had won their four previous group games against Sweden, Slovenia, Germany, and Gibraltar.

Winning the toss and bowl first, Jersey took the initiative early on by bowling out Norway for 69 in the 16th over. For Jersey, Ben Ward starred with 3-9, while Dan Birrell, Julius Sumerauer, and Perchard chipped in with two wickets apiece.
