Batting woes: Botswana posted just 29 runs against Rwanda PIC: RWANDA CRICKET ASSOCIATION

The women’s cricket team coach, Innocent Chando remains optimistic the side will recover from the opening day batting collapse to restore pride in the ongoing Kwibuka T20 tournament in Rwanda.

Sent in to bat, Botswana folded to 29 all out in just 10.1 overs on Sunday as Rwanda raced to an eight wicket victory. The total is the lowest since October 2019, when Indonesia managed 27 against Brazil.

It was a sorry scorecard, with medium-pacer, Botsogo Mpedi top-scoring with just five runs, while the top order failed to register more than a run. Had it not been for the 15 extras the scoreboard would have looked even more embarrassing.
