Oxfordshire Women’s Captain Emilia Bartram is currently on international duty for Italy, playing in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier in Rotterdam.
Italy lost their opening game against the Netherlands, but responded positively with a win against Germany. Emilia was the Player of the Match contributing nicely with both bat and ball, leading from the front as captain. Italy’s next game is against Ireland, which will be a tough task. However, they will look to take positives out of their game against Germany and put on a good show.
Two teams from the Europe Qualifier will advance to the Global Qualifier in January 2026, scheduled to take place in Nepal.
Oxfordshire Cricket wishes Emilia and the Italian team all the very best for the competition.
