The tournament was contested by 10 teams, [4] including the hosts Malaysia, as well as Bahrain, Bhutan, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Singapore and United Arab Emirates. [5] The ACC Women's Championship was last contested in 2013. [6]
The tournament began with comfortable victories for Nepal and Malaysia, before both afternoon matches were abandoned after rain stopped play. [7] Following the conclusion of the group stage, the UAE, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Nepal had all reached the semi-finals of the tournament. [8] The first semi-final finished in a no result due to rain, with the UAE progressing to the tournament's final because of their superior net run rate in the group stage. [9] The second semi-final was also impacted by the weather, with Malaysia winning their reduced match against Hong Kong by 12 runs. [10] In the final, the UAE beat Malaysia by five wickets to win the tournament, with both teams qualifying for the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup. [11] [12] The final was the last game to be played at the Kinrara Oval before the ground closed its door five days later. [13]
