6:34 PM That's it for the live coverage from this tournament, won by Guernsey. I hope you've enjoyed it, and until next time, this is Andrew Nixon signing off.

6:32 PM Germany still qualify for Division Eight of the World Cricket League though, and Israel finish 5th, with Germany finishing as runners-up for what I think is the first time.

6:31 PM And that ends both these teams tournaments with Israel's first ever win over Germany.
