The T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2026 will begin on March 24 with Tanzania taking on Malawi at Achimota Senior Secondary School A Field in Ghana. Tanzania has had a strong performance in recent times. They were also successful in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Region 2025 last year in October, finishing 4th.

Malawi's recent performance has been poor. Their last tournament, the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa sub-regional Qualifier 2025, was not successful for them as they only won two out of five matches, finished in seventh spot, and couldn't qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

Cricket’s global footprint is set for a major boost as the International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed Japan as the host of the East Asia-Pacific (EAP) Regional Final Qualifier for the 2028 Men’s T20 World Cup. Scheduled for May 2026, the tournament will be played across modernised venues in Tokyo and Yokohama, marking Japan’s biggest stride yet in establishing itself on the world cricket map.

Japan enters the event as one of the favourites, riding on their unbeaten run in recent sub-regional qualifiers under captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming. Their rise comes at a time when the 2028 T20 World Cup, to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, is set to expand to as many as 24 teams, further opening doors for emerging cricket nations. Six teams will contest the EAP Final: Japan, Papua New Guinea, Nepal, Samoa and two other sub-regional qualifiers. The top two sides will earn direct World Cup spots, while others remain in contention through global playoffs.

Japan Strengthens Its Bid for 2027 Asia/EAP Hosting Rights

Cricket’s growth in Japan has been remarkable. Once overshadowed by baseball, the sport has gained momentum since ICC development programs launched in 2006. Japan’s victory at the 2024 EAP Sub-Regional Qualifier in South Korea showcased their progress, driven by Kadowaki-Fleming’s all-round brilliance and standout performers like fast-bowler Benjamin Musolini and opener Ko Irie.

ALSO SEE: Watch: Yuvraj Singh meets Indian team during IND vs SA 2nd T20I in New Chandigarh

The ICC’s decision also aligns with Japan’s ambition to host the broader Asia/EAP Qualifier in 2027. Upgraded facilities, including Tokyo’s Fuji Xerox Ground and Yokohama’s International Cricket Stadium, are expected to attract more than 20,000 fans across 15 matches, with global digital broadcasts amplifying reach.

A World Cup berth would mark Japan’s first-ever appearance, further validating cricket’s expansion into non-traditional territories. While depth and funding remain challenges, optimism prevails. As Kadowaki-Fleming puts it, “This is our chance to build a legacy.” With excitement building, Japan’s 2026 qualifier could redefine cricket’s boundaries, proving the sport’s future truly lies beyond traditional strongholds.

Fatima Sana took charge of the show with a game-winning all-round performance as Pakistan Women charged into the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 with a commanding 67-run victory over Thailand at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday. The triumph was their fourth consecutive win in the qualifiers and made them the first team to qualify from the six-country tournament.

Skipper Fatima was just brilliant, saving Pakistan from a precarious 85 for 4 with an unbeaten 62 before chipping in with 3 for 29 to annihilate Thailand's pursuit. Sidra Amin gave the solidity with a solid 80, her third fifty in four matches, as the duo shared a vital 97-run partnership. Thailand's pursuit never gained momentum, folding to 138 all out against the spin of Pakistan after a reasonable beginning.

"Choriya" on the front – Pakistan Women's mute critics with masterful performance

Rameen Shamim abetted the spin attack with three wickets, as Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal maintained the pressure. Although Pakistan's fielding had scope for improvement through six dropped chances, their bowling attack again proved penetrative when it was most required. The victory not only guaranteed qualification but emphasized Pakistan's emerging danger as a well-balanced and resilient outfit.

With India qualified as hosts, and Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka also having qualified in advance, Pakistan's inclusion leaves just one position open. Bangladesh, the West Indies, and Scotland are vying for that sole position.

Yet, Pakistan's qualification has thrown a spanner into the tournament planning. Similar to the forthcoming 2025 Champions Trophy, World Cup matches against Pakistan will be hosted at neutral grounds because of the ICC's hybrid model agreement. UAE is being rumored as a possible co-host with India for the tournament to be staged in September-October 2025.
