The top three [http://icc-cricket.yahoo.com/media-release/2008/July/media-release20080717-39.html ICC-Cricket, retrieved 17 July 2008] will play in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, the international championship of Twenty20 cricket. The six competing teams were: Bermuda, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, The Netherlands and Scotland.

The competition was won by Ireland and the Netherlands, who shared the trophy after rain forced the final to be abandoned without a ball bowled. Both teams qualified for the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 finals in England. Pending confirmation of the withdrawal of Zimbabwe from the competition, the two finalists will be joined by third-placed Scotland.
