Jersey head coach Darren Thomas told BBC Sport:
"The girls have put a lot of hard work in this winter and they've reaped a little bit of reward for it in preparation for our Rome Division Two competition at the back end of May. We were challenged two to three times during the six games when we were put under real pressure.
"But I think it's testament to the girls' confidence, the way they've gone about their business since our T10 success in Malaga and the way they're embracing the training and philosophy towards T10 and T20 cricket."
In Rome Jersey will be up against Germany, Isle of Man, Italy Sweden and Spain with the top two countries advancing to the top division of the European qualifying tournament.
Jersey finished in third place they achieved in the same pre-qualifying tournament in 2023.
