The senior teams played a three-match T20 series, with the first of those matches being an official T20I played on 21 August at College Field in Saint Peter Port.[4] This was the first official T20I match played by Isle of Man since the International Cricket Council's decision to grant T20I status to all matches played between Associate Members from 1 January 2019.[5] Guernsey won the one-off T20I match by eight wickets.[6] The two remaining matches of the series between the senior sides took place the following day at King George V Sports Ground, Castel, without official T20I status.[7][8] Guernsey won the series 3–0.
