Netherlands secured a commanding 73‑run victory over Guernsey in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier at Voorburg Cricket Club, The Hague.
Electing to bat first, the Dutch posted a flattering 172 for 1 in their 20 overs, powered by an explosive 92 off 57 balls from Max O’Dowd—featuring 11 fours and a six—with captain Scott Edwards steadying the innings with 48 not out.
Guernsey’s reply faltered early, slumping to 77 for 6 by just the 15th over. Although Zak Damarell and Ben Ferbrache showed some resistance, their efforts were inadequate. The Netherlands’ bowlers delivered a disciplined performance, with Michael Levitt particularly impressive, claiming three wickets for just 11 runs—his late burst sealing the win.
Saqib Zulfiqar added two more wickets, while Bas de Leede and Roelof van der Merwe chipped in with one each, ensuring Guernsey were bundled out for 99.
The win further cements the Netherlands’ strong form in the tournament, reinforcing their position as clear favourites to qualify.

Guernsey, meanwhile, suffered a 22-run defeat to Jersey. Chasing 160, they collapsed early before Matthew Stokes and Ollie Nightingale tried to rescue the innings. However, Jersey’s Harrison Carlyon, who starred with both bat (63) and ball (2 for 8), ensured Guernsey couldn’t complete the chase.
