The top two teams at the end of the competition will advance to the Africa qualifiers where they will be joined by Nambia, Uganda and four other African nations from sub-regional qualifiers A and C. Two teams from the Africa qualifiers will earn tickets to the ICC 2026 Men's T20 World Cup that will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
Kenya, the semi-finalists of the 2003 Cricket World Cup, are yet to revive their cricketing journey. They have lost their ODI status and have not qualified for any T20 World Cup since the inaugural edition in 2007. This time, led by Shem Ngoche, Kenyans would try to take a strong step forward in a bid to finally qualify for the T20 World Cup.
Filipe Cossa will again captain Mozambique in the tournament. Cossa-led Mozambique had won five matches last time in the sub-regional qualifiers but could not qualify for the African qualifiers. Cossa will once again have the chance to at least make his team qualify for the African qualifiers but the road would not be easy. They face heavyweights Zimbabwe in the first match and a crushing defeat in the opener could make things really tough for them.
