Cricket tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2022 ACA Africa T20 Cup was a cricket tournament played in Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa.[1] The finals tournament were originally scheduled to be held in September 2019, but were moved to March 2020, with the original host city being Nairobi, Kenya.[2][3][4] On 9 March 2020, the tournament was postponed again due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in line with the Kenyan government's 30-day ban on international gatherings.[5][6] The tournament was eventually rescheduled for September 2022.[7]
The tournament finals were originally to be contested by the top two teams from each of three regional qualification events, plus South Africa and Zimbabwe as automatic qualifiers.[8][9] It was later decided to make the tournament open only to associate members of the International Cricket Council, and so two additional teams from the qualifiers would be entered into the finals in place of the two full members.[9] Ghana and Nigeria qualified from the North-Western region in April 2018, with Cameroon later granted an additional place in the finals. Botswana, Malawi and Mozambique progressed from the Southern region in November 2018. The Eastern qualifier was due to be played in Nairobi in July 2018, but did not take place; Kenya and Uganda were automatically advanced to the finals. Shortly before the finals in September 2022, Nigeria were replaced in the tournament by Tanzania.[10]
All matches played in the tournament finals had full T20I status as the ICC granted T20I status to matches between all of its members from 1 January 2019.[11]
Uganda defeated Tanzania in the final with Riazat Ali Shah (98*) leading a remarkable chase after the team had needed 49 runs from the last three overs.[12]
