TEAMS PREVIEW
Rwanda Preview
Rwanda, being the host nation for the Africa Continental Cup 2024 has found itself in troubled waters this tournament. In a total of 6 games, the host nation has only managed 2 wins, one against Botswana and another one against Nigeria. The team is in desperate search of an upliftment and needs a win here to stay alive in this tournament.
In their past five T20I encounters, Rwanda has been the much better side winning three of them. The home side kicked off their campaign by ing two defeats on the bounce before breaking that streak against Botswana with a thumping 10-wicket win. But that euphoria was short-lived as they suffered two consecutive defeats to Uganda and Botswana again before returning to winning ways against Nigeria.
Manishimwe is the highest run scorer for Rwanda and the second-highest run-scorer in this competition with 196 runs to his name which also includes his best score of 89*. Niyomugabo has been in impressive form with the bat, averaging nearly 33 while striking just below 120. Bimenyimana and Nadir have been the pick of the bowlers for Rwanda claiming 6 wickets each while averaging 19.5 and 20.83 respectively.

Botswana Preview
Botswana are comparatively ranked better than their rivals currently ranked third in the Africa Continental Cup points table. A win in this match will help them get very close to the table-toppers Uganda. Botswana has ed some success in their last encounter against Rwanda in this competition and would hope that they stay unbeaten against them in this forthcoming fixture to climb up the ladder.
The team started off on a disastrous note in this tournament losing their first three consecutive games on the bounce. But they managed to fight back and win their next two games against Nigeria and Rwanda by 3 and 6 wickets. But a defeat against Uganda has dented them somewhat and thrown them off course ever so slightly.
Tharindu Perera has the most number of runs for Botswana in this competition and averages 22.5 with a strike rate in excess of 120. Thatayaone Tshose has been the most impactful bowler for Botswana so far ing 7 wickets at a very healthy average of 23.85 while going at just under 9 runs per over.
Botswana Predicted Playing XI:
Monroux Kasselman, Vinoo Balakrishnan, Tharindu Perera, Phemelo Silas, Valentine Mbazo (wk), Michael Badenhorst, Katlo Piet, Thatayaone Tshose, Karabo Motlhanka ©, Mmoloki Mooketsi, Boemo Khumalo

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

RWA vs BO Pitch Report
The pitch at the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium offers ample pace and bounce. There are plenty of runs to be scored once the batters get the hold of the surface. The surface remains hard and relatively flat in the first innings which makes batting first a viable option. The 200-run mark has already been breached once in the tournament while there have been a few instances of teams falling a few runs short of that landmark. This just shows how ideal the surface truly is for the pinch-hitters. The average 1st innings score in the 12 matches played in the tournament is 153 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
So far in the 12 matches played in the African Continental T20 Cup teams batting first won five and the team bowling first won seven matches. Teams chasing have had a better record in the recent games, with the surface getting better in the later stages of the game, the team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.
RWA vs BO
Winning Prediction
Rwanda are languishing at the bottom of the points table but the team has fared well against Botswana in past encounters. Moreover, Rwanda have already had success against Botswana once in this tournament and we expect them to leverage the home advantage to their strength to thump Botswana yet again in this encounter.
Rwanda to Win!
