The three ODI and one Twenty20 matches were broadcast live on ESPN, after Nimbus had pulled out from the deal with Asian Cricket Council.
Asia XI claimed the first title in the competition's history, following a tied series in 2005, with a 3–0 whitewash of the African XI.
Asian XI captain Mahela Jayawardene was named player of the tournament for his 217 runs, including a half century and a century, in the three ODIs.
This cup held the Record for the highest overall runs scored in a 3-match series with 1892 runs being scored.
Later it was broken by India vs England in January 2017 with an overall total of 2090 runs.
