1997 ICC Trophy

{{Main|1997 ICC Trophy squads}}

The first round took the form of a group stage, with four groups, two comprising six teams and two consisting of five teams. The top two teams from each group went through to the second round, whilst the remaining 14 teams took part in play-offs for the final standings.

Position of teams in the table is determined by:

1. Total points

2. Head-to-head result (if more than two teams level, head-to-head only applies if all those teams have played the same number of matches against each other)

3. Net run rate

The second round was also a group stage, this time with two groups of four. The top two teams went through to the semi-final stage, whilst the third placed teams played off for fifth place, and the fourth placed teams played off for 7th place.

The final between Kenya and Bangladesh was also affected by rain and was played over two days. Kenya batted first and scored 241/8 from their 50 overs, Steve Tikolo top scoring with 147. The Bangladesh target was set at 166 from 25 overs by the Duckworth–Lewis method, a target they reached with the last ball of the match. They were not able to defend their title, as they were elected to Test status in 2000. This would also be Kenya's last appearance in the ICC Trophy being allocated ODI status in 2000, though they returned in the successor tournament, the ICC World Cup Qualifier in 2009.
