NWCL finished undefeated in the tournament winning all three games that they played. One game against Sacramento Cricket Association was rained out.

NWCL's victories came on the back of superb bowling performances by USA U-19 bowler Naseer Jamali, spin bowler Samarth Shah, and paceman Srinivasa Raghavan. The bowling was so effective that the team restricted their opponents to under 100 runs in each of the three matches. In what is a clear proof of the recent gains made by the next generation of cricketers, several U-19 players represented their leagues including Saqib Saleem, Saad Khan, Pranay Suri and Jodhbir Singh.

Bay Area's Northern California Cricket Association (NCCA) finished runners up winning 3 of their matches but losing against NWCL. Arjun Thyagrajan, Sunny Singh, Ranvir Kumar, Imran Khan and Rishi Bharadwaj recorded impressive performances for NCCA. Bay Area Cricket Alliance (BACA) won two of its matches losing to NCCA and NWCL. Left arm fast bowler Iftikhar Khan and batsman Snehal Fulzele were impressive for BACA. California Cricket League was the beneficiary of a forfeited match against Sacramento.

Best Batsman: Arjun Tyagarajan from NCCA (129 from 73 balls faced)
Best Bowler: Iftikhar Khan from BACA (10 wickets for 77 runs from 15 overs) and Samarth Shah from NWCL (10 wickets for 60 runs from 10 overs)
Chairman's Award (MVP): Sunny Singh from NCCA (125 runs at a 62.5 average)
