These will include both finalists and the winner of the qualifying final. Tournament Structure Countries have been ranked and will be split into two divisions, one to 12, 13 to 24, and there will be two rounds of matches. At the end of the second stage a league will be formed based on the combined points achieved from previous fixtures.

The finals and a number of other round matches will be played at the Toronto Cricket Club.
