History
edit2023 Qualifiers
editThe first ever regional Twenty20 World Cup Qualifier was played as qualification for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
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] The teams were:
| Qualifier A | Qualifier B | Regional Final | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct qualifiers | Sub-regional qualifiers | |||
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]
