ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2021: Match 15, Rwanda Women vs Tanzania Women - Preview, predicted XIs, pitch report, weather forecast and live streaming details

Rwanda Women take on Tanzania Women in the 15th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2021 at Botswana Cricket Association Oval 1 in Gaborone on Monday.

Rwanda Women are at the top of the Group A table with two wins from as many games. They won their first game comfortably against Mozambique Women, emerging victorious by 10 wickets. Rwanda Women backed up their fine performance with another big win over Swaziland Women last time out.

Rwanda Women batted first and posted a big total of 204/5 courtesy of a magnificent unbeaten hundred from Gisele Ishimwe. Their bowlers then made a mockery of the Swaziland Women batting line-up, bundling them out for a mere 19 runs. Margueritte Vumiliya, Henriette Ishimwe and Alice Ikuzwe led the charge with the ball.

On the other hand, Tanzania Women started their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2021 with a loss against Zimbabwe Women. However, they came back strong against a listless Mozambique Women side to register a big win that will uplift their spirits. They put up a huge total of 228 batting first, propelled by fifties from Mwanaidi Ammy and Fatuma Kibasu.

Mozambique Women could only manage to get 28 runs before being bowled out. Nasra Saidi, Perice Kamunya and Sophia Frank were amongst the wickets. Tanzania Women are placed fourth with a win and a loss so far.
