Botswana's Under-19 cricket side rekindled its fading qualification hopes with a comprehensive 97 run victory over Uganda in the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) Africa World Cup qualifiers in Windhoek, Namibia on Tuesday and followed it up with an impressive three wicket win over Zambia yesterday.
