The 5th edition of the biennial event took place at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. The tournament featured host nation Oman, Pakistan, Malaysia, India, South Korea, and Japan.

India and Pakistan were declared joint winners by virtue of forfeiture of the final due to persistent rain.
