The winners of the tournament were Denmark who went unbeaten throughout the event and defeated Romania by six runs in the final.[4] They advanced to the regional final, where they were joined by Scotland who was given a bye after having participated in the previous T20 World Cup, along with Jersey who won Sub-regional Qualifier A, and the winner of Sub-regional Qualifier C. Scotland had been initially drawn to play in Qualifier B,[1] as they had originally not qualified for the World Cup, but after replacing Bangladesh due to their withdrawal, Scotland were given the bye to the regional final.[citation needed]
