Cricket tournament

The 2018–19 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier was the tournament played as part of qualification process for the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Twelve regional qualifiers were held by the International Cricket Council (ICC), with 62 teams[n 1] competing during 2018 in five regions – Africa (3 groups), Americas (2), Asia (2), East Asia Pacific (2) and Europe (3). The top 25 sides from these progressed to five Regional Finals in 2019, with seven teams then going on to compete in the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier,[1][n 2] along with the six lowest ranked sides from the ICC T20I Championship.[1]

The first sub-regional qualifier was held in Argentina and the other was held in the United States. The top two teams in each group advanced to the regional final tournament, which would determine two American entrants to the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier.[2] In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full international status to Twenty20 men’s matches played between member sides from 1 January 2019 onwards. Therefore, all the matches in the Regional Finals will be played as Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[3]

From the Southern sub region group, both Bermuda and the Cayman Islands qualified for the Americas Regional Finals.[4] From the Northern sub region, Canada and United States also qualified for the Americas Regional Finals.[5]

The Regional Finals were held in Bermuda from 18 to 25 August 2019.[6] Following the conclusion of matches that took place on 22 August 2019, Canada and Bermuda had both progressed to the T20 World Cup Qualifier.[7][8]
