In July 2020, Zimbabwe announced their intention to host the qualifier. They had hosted the previous qualification tournament in March 2018. In December 2020, Zimbabwe were confirmed as the tournament hosts.
A fire occurred at the Harare Sports Club on 20 June 2023 behind the southwest grandstand, but no damage took place, and this did not affect the scheduling. The two finalists, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands, claimed the last two places at the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Sri Lanka won the tournament, beating the Netherlands by 128 runs in a one-sided final.
