The tournament, part of the qualification process for the 2016 World Twenty20, was contested by six members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) – two associate members and four affiliate members.[1] The number of participants was reduced by two from the previous tournament in 2012.[2] Of the competing teams, Nigeria had been relegated from 2013 Division One and Swaziland promoted from 2014 Division Three,[3] with the other four qualifying by virtue of their position in the last Division Two tournament.[1] The six teams played each other in a round-robin over a period of five days. Ghana and Zambia finished equal on points, but Ghana had a better net run rate, thus winning the tournament and qualifying for the 2015 Division Two tournament.[4]
