Kenya Women lock horns with Bangladesh Women in the 3rd match of the Commonwealth Games Women's (CWG) Cricket Qualifiers 2022. Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur will host this fixture.

Kenya Women will be keen to make the most of the opportunity to play against top teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka who have played in the World Cup.

Kenya Women have come to this tournament on the back of winning the Kwibuka Women’s T20 tournament. They will be eager to make an impact against their much-fancied opponents.

Bangladesh Women, meanwhile, started the competition with a thumping win over Malaysia Women. Bowling first, they put up a brilliant effort to restrict Malaysia Women to just 49/9 from their 20 overs.

Bangladesh Women batters then made light work of the chase, scaling the target down in just eight overs with as many wickets to spare as well. They will be pleased with their all-round performance and will look to extend their winning run.
