The 2013 ICC World Cricket League Division Three is a cricket tournament which took place from 28 April to 5 May 2013 in Bermuda. It forms part of the ICC World Cricket League and qualifying for the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
Nepal were the pre-tournament favourites,[1] but they lost against USA and Uganda in their first two matches. On the other hand USA and Uganda made solid starts. Uganda remained unbeaten in their first four matches to comfortably secure one of the two available places in the 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.
In the fifth round of the league, three teams remained in contention for the second qualifying spot,[2] USA having won 3 out of 4 and Bermuda & Nepal both having won 2 out of 4. USA could guarantee progress by defeating Bermuda, but for Nepal to proceed, they had to defeat Italy by a heavy margin and also rely on a Bermuda victory over the USA. In the end, exactly that happened and Nepal went through to the 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier over USA and Bermuda on net run rate.[3]
