A total of 21 matches will be played during this tournament in Windhoek, Namibia. The United Cricket Club Ground and the Wanderers Cricket Ground will host the matches.
The winner and the runner-up from this tournament will participate in the T20 World Cup next year. The seven teams that are a part of this event are Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe and Namibia have directly qualified for this tournament as they were a part of the 2022 edition of the T20 World Cup.
