Looking forward to this primarily as there are a few interesting teams taking part (Bahrain, Germany, Philippines), although admittedly Covid had a major impact on these teams qualifying in the first place:
Group A: UAE, Ireland, Germany, Bahrain Group B: Oman, Nepal, Philippines, Canada
Should be Ireland from Group A but they are a mixed bag recently and lost to the UAE only last week. Group B is harder to call, you'd expect Oman as Nepal are so inconsistent but Canada could spring a shock. Should be good.

Excited to find out which county cricketers have discovered they're eligible for one of these nations, always a highlight of the early stages.
UAE and Ireland look the two best teams for my money, but they're in the same group. Oman should win Group B, but it's always pretty variable.

And Michael Richardson, ex of Durham. And someone who appears to be called Sri Vishnu Baratheon, which is an absolutely incredible name.

Ireland really struggling against UAE here. I think that's four defeats in a row for Ireland against UAE now. Really struggling to bring new talent through.

Ireland making a very solid recovery through Tector & Delany is very good for their future, 22 and 24.
Edit: well bowled me, 4/3 since I hit post...

Tagging onto this thread as the second half of the Qualifier is upon us:
Jersey, USA, Zimbabwe, Singapore Netherlands, PNG, Hong Kong, Uganda
Should be Zimbabwe and Netherlands for the two qualifying spots, but in such a short tournament the chance for an upset is high, USA could spring a surprise in Group A, HK look the best of the rest in Group B.
