2007–08 ICC Intercontinental Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2007–08 ICC Intercontinental Cup was the fourth ICC Intercontinental Cup tournament, an international first-class cricket tournament between nations who have not been awarded Test status by the International Cricket Council. The first fixtures were played in June 2007, and the final took place from 30 October to 2 November 2008 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.[1] The same eight countries as in the previous edition were participating. The eight teams played each other in a round robin format. Namibia won the round-robin, but lost the final against Ireland, making it Ireland's third consecutive title in this competition.
