2023 ACA Africa T20 Cup Qualification

Last updated

The 2023 ACA Africa T20 Cup Qualification process consisted of a series of two cricket tournaments, organised by the Africa Cricket Association, that determined the eight teams that advanced to the 2023 ACA Africa T20 Cup. [1]

Contents

The first tournament was the Southern Africa Cup (covering the south and central region), which was played at Willowmoore Park in Benoni, South Africa, in May 2023. [2]

The Northern Africa Cup (covering the northwest region) was originally scheduled to be played in June 2023 in Abuja, Nigeria, [3] and the East Africa Cup was originally to be hosted in Kampala, Uganda, in July 2023. [4] The later two events were eventually combined into a single event (North-West/East Qualifier), and scheduled to be played in September 2023. [5] However, the qualifier and the finals were postponed again. [6] The qualifier was played in December 2023. [7]

Uganda won the inaugural ACA Africa T20 Cup, where they defeated Tanzania in the final in September 2022. [8] Defending champions Uganda, plus the top three sides from the Southern Africa Cup and the top four sides from the North-West/East Qualifier qualified for the 2023 ACA Africa T20 Cup. [5]

Rwanda and Kenya topped their groups in the North-West/East qualifier to claim a place at the ACA Cup Finals. [9] Sierra Leone and Ghana also qualified after finishing as runners-up in their groups. [10]
