The 2014 ICC Africa Twenty20 Division Two was an international 20-over cricket tournament held in Benoni, South Africa, from 20 to 24 September 2014. All matches were played at the Willowmoore Park complex.

Contents

The tournament, part of the qualification process for the 2016 World Twenty20, was contested by six members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) – two associate members and four affiliate members. [1] The number of participants was reduced by two from the previous tournament in 2012. [2] Of the competing teams, Nigeria had been relegated from 2013 Africa Division One and Swaziland promoted from 2014 Africa Division Three, [3] with the other four qualifying by virtue of their position in the last Division Two tournament. [1] The six teams played each other in a round-robin over a period of five days. Ghana and Zambia finished equal on points, but Ghana had a better net run rate, thus winning the tournament and qualifying for the 2015 Division Two tournament. [4]
