Competition is on course in the UAE and the host team currently lead the table with two wins in two matches.

The competition was originally intended to promote 4 teams to the 2013 World cup Qualifier... but now, what are they fighting for? ICC making a laugh of itself!

(trivia: Hong Kong have a 16 y.o. kid playing, Mark Chapman. Bermuda's captain is 40 y.o. David Hemp, formerly county cricketer for Glamorgan)

Don't know why nobody posted here yet. It seems to be a tight race to the finish.

Final table:

Team .....................Points NRR
United Arab Emirates ..10 +1.476
Namibia ..................8 +1.838
Papua New Guinea ......6 -0.716
Hong Kong................2 -0.462
Bermuda .................2 -0.708
Uganda ...................2 -1.196

Top 4 teams go to the previously called "World Cup Qualifiers"... I wonder how the tournament will be remaned... last two teams relegate to World Division 3.

Unbelievable bad luck for Uganda: they lose the last match by 1 run to PNG, needing 3 runs to win from the last ball they only got a single, had they scored 1 more run they would have tied the match, got 1 point more in the table and avoided relegation!
