Nepal defeated Malaysia in the final, winning its second title and qualifying for the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh.[2] Played during the usual off-season in Pakistan, the tournament was heavily impacted by monsoon rains – three matches (including the final) were shortened, three ended in no result (including a semi-final), and five were abandoned entirely (including the other semi-final), with no play possible.[3] The player of the tournament was Oman's Adnan Ilyas, who was the leading runscorer,[4] and also one of three players who led the tournament's wicket-taking, alongside Nepal's Manjeet Shrestha and Kuwait's Waqas Jamil.[5]
