RWA vs BO Match Prediction & Analysis
Game 10 of the Africa Continental Cup 2024 will see Rwanda take on Botswana in what promises to be an intriguing contest. Botswana currently hold the third spot on the table, though they've managed to secure only 2 points from their four outings. Rwanda's campaign has been equally disappointing, as they sit at the bottom with just a single win in their four matches. However, given that Rwanda beat Botswana earlier in the tournament quite convincingly, they look better placed to come out on top in this encounter.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Rwanda Preview
It's been a tough start to the Africa Continental Cup 2024 for Rwanda, with only one win in four outings. However, that lone win came against their opponents Botswana - a psychological advantage they'll look to leverage when these two teams meet again.
Opener Oscar Manishimwe has led the team’s batting unit in the tournament with 155 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 129. Following him next is his partner at the top, Didier Ndikubwimana, who has mustered 69 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 82.
The rest of the lineup hasn’t done much at all, but we are expecting some runs from Isae Niyomugabo in this game.
On the bowling front, Muhammad Nadir and Martin Akayezu have led the attack with 5 wickets apiece. Eric Kubwimana has backed them up well, claiming 4 wickets while maintaining a solid economy rate of 7.75.
Rwanda Predicted Playing XI:
Oscar Manishimwe, Didier Ndikubwimana (c & wk), Isae Niyomugabo, Daniel Gumyusenge, Orchide Tuyisenge, Rukundo Jean Pierre, Muhammad Nadir, Emile Rukiriza, Martin Akayezu, Eric Kubwimana, Ignace Ntirenganya

Botswana Preview
After losing three games in a row, Botswana finally secured their first win of the season by taking down Nigeria by 3 wickets.
Motlhanka Monroux Kasselman has been their top batter this series, scoring 101 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 122. Captain Karabo follows him closely with 85 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 106.
Phemelo Silas is another batter to keep an eye on. In the match against Nigeria, it was his composed knock of 42 off 28 balls that helped the team chase down a target of 142.
Botswana’s bowling lineup looks in better shape, with almost all the main bowlers among the wickets. Boemo Kgosiemang, Boemo Khumalo, Mmoloki Mooketsi, and Thatayaone Tshose have all done a decent job and if Botswana has to win, these four will need to be at the top of their game.
Botswana Predicted Playing XI:
Karabo Motlhanka (c), Monroux Kasselman, Thatayaone Tshose, Tharindu Perera, Mmoloki Mooketsi, Phemelo Silas, Valentine Mbazo (wk), Boemo Khumalo, Boemo Kgosiemang, Katlo Piet, Vinoo Balakrishnan

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Gahanga International Cricket Stadium generally offers a balanced pitch for both bowlers and batsmen. The pitch here is expected to be a batting-friendly surface, with a hint of grass to help the seamers early on. But as the match progresses, the surface is expected to become more conducive to batting.
The weather during the game is expected to be pleasant and clear with very little chance of rain.
RWA vs BO Pitch Report
The Gahanga International Cricket Stadium has seen teams batting first score an average of 132 runs. The highest score at the venue in this tournament was posted by Uganda, who scored 192-7 in 18 overs against Rwanda. Given these numbers, it's likely that the team batting first in this match will target a score of around 140-150 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Batting second is usually the better option at the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium and we reckon both captains will look to field first.

Winning Prediction
Rwanda's previous encounter with Botswana in this Africa Continental Cup ended in a commanding 10-wicket victory. While Rwanda haven't had the best run in the tournament, Botswana's performances have been even more disappointing. After weighing up both teams' current form and analyzing their respective strengths and weaknesses, Rwanda emerge as our pick to win this match.
Rwanda are favorites to emerge victorious in this clash.
