The 2018 South American Cricket Championship was a cricket tournament took place in Mosquera near Bogotá, Colombia from 23 to 26 August 2018.[1] This was the fifteenth edition of the men's South American Cricket Championship. Unlike the women's event, which took place simultaneously, matches played in the men's event did not have official Twenty20 International status. The ICC granted Twenty20 International (T20I) status to matches between all of its Members, starting from 1 July 2018 for women's team but not until 1 January 2019 for the men.[2][3] Argentina were the defending champions having won the event in 2017, but were represented by a development squad, Argentina A.[4]
