Competition format

17 teams took part in the tournament. They were divided into four groups of unequal size, three having four members and the last having five. The top two sides from each group went forward to a second round of group matches, with two groups of four. Oddly, the terms "Group A" and "Group B" were re-used for the second round rather than "Group E" and "Group F", despite the Plate competition (see below) using the letters G and H for its groups!

From each of the second-round groups, the top two teams qualified for the knockout stages of semi-finals and final. (A third-place playoff match was also planned, but was cancelled because of bad weather.) The nine sides that had not made the second round were entered into a consolation "Plate" competition. This consisted of two groups, one of four and one of five, with no knockout stages. In all group stages, where teams finished with equal points totals, run rate was used to separate them.

Group A

Zimbabwe continued their winning ways with three victories to top the table. They started with a straightforward nine-wicket victory over Papua New Guinea: the Papuans, having won the toss and decided to bat, fell to 44/4 before recovering a little to post 133ao, but it was never likely to be enough and so it proved as the Zimbabweans reached 134/1 thanks to Andy Flower's 80*. In the next match, having put the USA in to bat, 5-22 from Eddo Brandes

 kept the Americans down to 131ao, with Zimbabwe then strolling to 132/3 (Grant Flower 52*) and a seven-wicket win. Finally Zimbabwe were inserted by Kenya but compiled 259/9 (AH Omarshah 69), tight bowling keeping their opponents down to 126/6, 133 runs adrift.

Kenya were the other qualifiers for the semi-finals, on run rate. They restricted the USA to 162ao after the Americans had chosen to bat, then an unbeaten 79 from Maurice Odumbe

 guided them to 163/4 and victory by six wickets. Next, however, Papua New Guinea, winning the toss and batting, posted 230ao thanks to 55 by Amini and no less than 54 extras; this profligacy with the ball cost them the game as they fell to 193ao (MO Odumbe 64) and a 37-run defeat. Finally in Group A, the USA chose to bat first against the Papuans, and their choice was vindicated as their shaky-looking 190ao (KR Khan 52) turned out to be more than sufficient, E Daley claiming 4-35 as the United States recorded a 67-run triumph.

Group B

The Netherlands won Group B on run rate from Bangladesh, despite losing their first match to Canada by 21 runs. Having put Canada in, Eric Dulfer's 5-38 was overshadowed by D Singh's 64 as the North Americans recovered from 79/6 to put up 199ao; the Dutch could manage only 178/8 from their 60 overs. The Netherlands made amends by annihilating Bangladesh by 161 runs in their next game, choosing to bat first and posting 309/7 (NE Clarke 83, RP Lefebvre 75) despite having been 27/2 at one stage, before running through the entire Bangladeshi order for 148; then winning an all-European affair with Denmark. Again winning the toss and batting, the Dutch team were restricted to a moderate 176ao (GJAF Aponso

Bangladesh v Zimbabwe

Bad weather meant that these two sides met a day late, on the day originally scheduled to host the third-place play-off, which was cancelled as a result.
