This washout ended Ireland’s chances of getting a direct place in the 2027 ICC World Cup. Now, they will have to go through a tough qualification tournament to make it to the mega event next year. Amid this, 2027 ODI World Cup Qualifier dates confirmed, ICC yet to decide venues.
But the rain at Bready shattered their hopes completely. Since the first ODI was washed out without a ball being bowled, Ireland’s hopes of whitewashing Afghanistan ended.
Ireland are currently ranked 12th in the ICC ODI team rankings, which could not earn them automatic qualification for the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Ireland face must-win World Cup Qualifier challenge
The teams finishing second, third and fourth will still remain alive, but their road to the mega event will become much tougher. Those three teams will move into the first stage of the World Cup, called the Super Series. From there, only one team will qualify for the main tournament.
How the 2027 World Cup Qualifier will work
The other eight teams will come through different qualification events. Four teams will qualify from the Cricket World Cup League 2, while another four teams will come through the World Cup Qualifier Playoff. The qualifier playoff itself will have eight teams.
The top two teams from both groups will reach the Qualifier Playoff, and from there the top four teams will book their place in the World Cup Qualifier.
So, this was the biggest setback for Ireland, as they also failed to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup after being knocked out in the Super Six stage of the Qualifier. Now, they once again face a challenging journey to the 2027 ODI World Cup.
