The competition was won by Ireland and the Netherlands, who shared the trophy after rain forced the final to be abandoned without a ball bowled. Both teams qualified for the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 finals in England.

gollark: Ooo, an animated version? Neat!
gollark: I think it will probably still be somewhat bad for a while, given that quite a lot of people are just not working right now.

gollark: I really do not care.
gollark: I think my biggest book is one of the Mistborn ones, they're 700 pages or something.
