Btw what is the criteria to decide top 8 teams? If it's rankings then Canada should be in, not HK.

These were the same 8 teams as the 2017 edition, and it's Hong Kong because they have a better all-time T20 player pool for the sim. I was thinking USA/Canada, but I think Hong Kong will make for better picks.
