Men's T20 World Cup Africa Regional Qualifier B 2026/27

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier B is a cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Africa Cricket. Established in 2022, it serves as a sub-regional tier within the African qualification structure for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The competition sits below the Africa Regional Final in the pyramid, with the top two teams advancing to the next stage. There is no formal relegation system within the tournament itself.

In the 2026 edition, hosted by Ghana, six teams competed in a single round-robin group stage. The participants included Eswatini, Ghana, Malawi, Seychelles, Saint Helena, and Tanzania. The format required teams to play each other once, with the top two sides progressing. In the 2026 tournament, Tanzania and Ghana finished level on points, each recording four wins and one no-result. Tanzania topped the table on Net Run Rate to win the qualifier, while Ghana finished as runner-up. Both teams advanced to the Africa Regional Final.

Historically, the tournament has seen different winners in its iterations. The 2024 edition, hosted by Kenya, was won by Zimbabwe, who defeated Kenya in the final with a perfect record of five wins from five matches. The 2022 edition, hosted in Rwanda, was won by Mozambique, who secured their spot in the Regional Final by defeating Gambia. The Sub-Regional Qualifier B typically covers East and West African zones, while Qualifier A covers Southern and Central African zones. This split is designed to reduce travel costs and logistical burdens. The 2026 edition marked a shift in participants compared to previous years, featuring developing cricket nations like Saint Helena and Eswatini alongside established regional sides like Ghana and Tanzania.
