Zim lost their first game yesterday (albeit against fellow favourites Namibia). The second place should be between them and Kenya.

German then Belgian after WW1 I think rather than French. But none of those gives you much of a cricket heritage for sure.

Zimbabwe have just lost to Uganda meaning their place in the finals next year a massive doubt. They need 3 wins from their last three games and hope Kenya/Uganda lose a couple. Uganda have the easiest run in.

Overtaking Zim as the second strongest team in Africa. Beat them in a recent T20 series recently too.

Uganda look like they could qualify. Beat Kenya, and Rwanda will be a breeze. NRR could come into play if Kenya beat Uganda, could have 3 teams on 8 points

Watched it. Hassun looked a decent bowler for Uganda tbf, but the opposition didn't look the best tbh. I've seen better pitches in the Durham leagues too, it was like a farmers field in places.
Yeh with a team they inherited which illustrates how much it's deteriorated under their watch.
statistics indicated that Buttler would get nowhere near a world XI.

Shocking for Zimbabwe but great to see a new team involved.
As much as minnow bashing is terrible, cricket tournaments shouldn't be played by only 10 teams.

Agreed, the best way to grow the game is to get more non-test playing countries involved in competitions and give them a greater share in ICC revenue. The 2024 T20 world cup will now have two nations who haven't competed at the tournament before (USA and Uganda).

Their finances must be taking a hammering after failing to qualify for the last ODI WC finals and the next T20 WC.
Dominica dropped out as a venue. Jamaica have already ruled themselves out on cost grounds. Only other ground I can think of to replace it is Grenada.
Also T&T games will be held at the Brian Lara academy rather than the Queens Park Oval
Dominica withdraws as T20 World Cup venue
Dominica withdraws from hosting matches at next year's T20 World Cup because it will be unable to complete renovation work on practice and match venues in time.

India-Pakistan in the same group and it’s the easiest one surprise surprise 
Not sure exactly how these groups have been worked out as group D looks ridiculous with Nepal the lowest ranked team but who are better than pretty much every other 4th/5th ranked teams in the other groups.
