Seventeen out of the 20 teams for the 2026 T20 World Cup are already confirmed. The last three spots will be decided after the Asia–EAP Qualifier. In the Africa Regional Final for the 2025 T20 World Cup, the semifinals wrapped up with Namibia beating Tanzania by 63 runs, while Zimbabwe defeated Kenya by 7 wickets. With these wins, both Namibia and Zimbabwe have sealed their place in the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will be played in India and Sri Lanka.

Namibia and Zimbabwe will face each other in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Regional Qualifier on October 4 at the Harare Sports Club. However, the result will not affect their qualification, as both teams have already booked their spots for the 2026 T20 World Cup in India.
