Ireland guaranteed place in the Final

Ireland, in their second pool game, took on Holland at Pembroke and maintained their good form. Holland batted first and tight bowling and good fielding restricted their score to 141 for five. In reply Ireland reached 142 for the loss of two wickets with another encouraging partnership from the opening pair, this time 99 from 29 overs, to set up the eight wicket win. England played Denmark at Leinster and won by 133 runs having scored 205 for six and bowling out Denmark for 72. These results confirmed that irrespective of the results of the third series of round-robin matches to be played on Thursday, Ireland and England would meet in the Final.
