Confirmed as Tanzania won by 98 runs with Hamza Onai taking 5 wickets. Hope they can be as impressive as Nigeria women were in this year's tournament.

This is great! The more teams, the more competitive it can be

Africa is a real growth area at the moment. But the lack of qualification spots available hinders momentum.

Yes the top 4 want to keep the competition away

I think it's more they don't want to share the money more than they fear the competition.

Yes well that’s very true!! Boring for spectators in the long run though

The flip side is that it's wonderful to have Tanzania come up from Division 2 qualifiers to make an ICC event, and a 50-over one at that!

Totally. I think my preference would have been for Namibia to qualify automatically as hosts like Zimbabwe, Tanzania to qualify and 1 less full member be there.
