Ireland and Bangladesh, who qualified in the 2018 edition of the Global Qualifiers, will have some tougher opposition in the field in 2019, if they again have to come up trumps.

Thailand are placed alongside Ireland, Netherlands and Namibia in Group “B” in the global qualifiers in Scotland. Both Thailand and Netherlands will also play WT20I matches against the visiting team from Bangladesh in Netherlands before the start of the global qualifier.
