The penultimate round-robin match, between Malaysia and the Netherlands, ended in a tie.[8] It was a rain-curtailed game with no Super Over taking place due to the lost time.[9] This result meant that the Netherlands and Nepal advanced to the final.[10] Nepal defeated the Netherlands in the final by 142 runs to win the series.[11][12]
Netherlands coach Ryan Campbell selected a squad missing several English county-based players and the New Zealand-based Logan van Beek.[16] Malaysia's coach Bilal Asad named an experienced squad including captain Ahmad Faiz, vice-captain Virandeep Singh and former national captain Anwar Arudin.[17] The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) initially named a preliminary squad of twenty players, with senior players Basant Regmi and Sharad Vesawkar rested.[18] Nepal announced their final squad of fifteen players on 14 April.[19][20] The day before the tournament, Paras Khadka was ruled out of the series due to a shoulder injury and replaced by Sundeep Jora.[21]
