Both teams lost just one game all week, competing against age-group sides from across Europe, as well as a King's College side.

 

Marcus Vila struck two hundreds - 111 from 44 deliveries against Isle of Man, and 100 from 42 deliveries against Italy - as he was named Player of the Tournament.

 

Other notable performances from the week included Nathan Umeed takign 4-21 against Denmark, and Satvik Varunkumar striking a 56-ball 84 against the King's College side.
