The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) is all set to host the NCF Women's T20 Invitational tournament, starting on Sunday, February 25. A total of four teams will take part in the campaign namely Tanzania Women, Rwanda Women, Nigeria Women, and Sierra Leone Women.
Nigeria Women will enter this year's competition as defending champions after they defeated Rwanda Women by nine runs in the previous edition’s grand finale. Sierra Leone Women defeated Cameroon Women in the third-place playoff.
Each team will play the other side twice in a double round-robin format. The top-ranked side at the end of the campaign will be declared the winner of the series.
Cameroon Women, who made their debut, in the previous year, will not be a part of the campaign this year. Gambia Women will also not take part in this year's campaign due to personal reasons.
Gisele Ishimwe of Rwanda Women ended last year's campaign as the leading run-scorer, amassing 128 runs. Henriette Ishimwe bagged 10 wickets for Rwanda Women to secure the top spot in the bowling standings.
