The 2015 ACC Twenty20 Cup was an international cricket tournament that was held between 25–30 January 2015 in the United Arab Emirates. Oman won the tournament after the Round Robin matches and qualified for the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, along with Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Nepal and UAE. They did not play in the tournament as their T20I status has already placed them in the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier to be held in Ireland and Scotland.^[1] The full members of the ACC (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) automatically qualify for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 tournament.
