East Asia-Pacific[edit]
The East Asia-Pacific qualifier was hosted by Indonesia from 3-5 July 2022.
As Indonesia and Papua New Guinea were the only teams participating, the qualifier was scheduled as a three-match series.[6] Indonesia won the series 2–1 and thus qualified for the 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, the first time any cricket team from Indonesia has made it to a World Cup.
Match list[edit]
Europe[edit]
The European qualifier was a three-match series between Netherlands and Scotland, hosted by the former from 9-11 August 2022. Scotland won the series 3–0 to secure qualification for the Under-19 World Cup.[7]
