Afghanistan won the tournament, with Uganda coming in second. Both teams qualified for the 2011 World Cup qualification tournament. Afghanistan and Uganda each won four matches and lost one, as did Papua New Guinea; the rankings tie was broken by net run rate.
Papua New Guinea were the first to reach four wins, as Afghanistan and Uganda both had their fifth matches abandoned due to rain and had to replay them the next day. The rain also resulted in the cancellation of the finals round ranking matches (which would not affect promotion or relegation in any case), and the group round result table was the final standings.[1]
