Nigeria were the defending champions, having won the inaugural edition in 2019.[6] As the two highest ranked sides in the tournament, Nigeria and Rwanda were seeded in the draw.[7] Originally, Nigeria were placed in Group A with Ghana and Gambia, while Rwanda were placed in Group B with Sierra Leone and Cameroon.[8] However, Cameroon withdrew from the tournament and the format was changed to a round-robin followed by a third place play-off and a final.[9]

Nigeria beat Rwanda by three runs to finish top of the round-robin stage after both sides had won their first three matches.[10] However, the following day, the Rwandans defeated Nigeria by 53 runs in the final to win the tournament.[11]
