T20 World Cup: Ireland's hopes of reaching next year's ICC Women's T20 World Cup have received a significant boost thanks to their unbeaten run at the ongoing Europe Qualifier in the Netherlands.

Gaby Lewis’ side continued their dominant form with a commanding 179-run victory over Germany on Sunday - their fourth straight win - securing a spot in the Global Qualifier for the 2026 tournament.

The Global Qualifier is set to be held in Nepal in January, with the top four teams earning a place at the 10th edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, scheduled for mid-next year in England and Wales.
