The 2023 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. [1] [2]
The first stage of the qualification pathway in the Asia region consisted of two sub-regional qualifiers, held in July and September 2023 in Malaysia and Qatar respectively. [3] [4] [5] Malaysia won all of their matches in the Qualifier B tournament and advanced to the regional final. [6] Kuwait won the Qualifier A to advance to the regional final after defeating Saudi Arabia in their final match. [7]
In the regional final, Kuwait and Malaysia were joined by Nepal, Oman, and Bahrain (all of whom contested in the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier A in Oman), as well as Hong Kong and Singapore (who contested in the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier B in Zimbabwe), and the United Arab Emirates (who were knocked out of the first round of the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia). [8]
The regional final was held in Nepal from 30 October to 5 November 2023. [9] [10] The two finalists (Nepal and Oman) qualified for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. [11] [12]
