Ireland and PNG, the first-placed teas in each pool of seven go straight through to the semi-finals, and will also book an automatic ticket to the T20 World Cup.

October 29 will see the finals series get underway with the crossover playoffs between the 2nd & 3rd placed teams across either group. The winners of these matches will book their spots at the T20 World Cup, as well as semi-final places at the global qualifier.

The losers of the crossover playoffs will have another bite at the cherry when they take on the 4th placed group teams for the last two berths in Australia in 2020 a day later on Wednesday, October 30.
