Despite facing a washout against Germany on Thursday, 27 July, Ireland’s outstanding performance throughout the tournament led them to claim one of the two available berths.

Throughout the qualifier, Ireland remained unbeaten, showcasing their dominance with victories against Italy, Denmark, Austria, and Jersey. Although their match against Germany was abandoned without a single ball being bowled due to rain, Ireland’s consistent winning streak accumulated a total of nine points from five games.
