Cricket Feast Beckons As 10 Nations Arrive

Botswana welcomes 10 nations tomorrow (Tuesday) as they prepare for a 11-day battle between September 9 and 19. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, spectators will not allowed into the cricket arena, instead will enjoy the action through live streaming.

The women’s team, fresh from participating in the Kwibuka T20 tournament in Rwanda, will face a sterner test as they look to progress furthest in the qualifiers. The team did not cover itself in glory in Rwanda, suffering heavy defeats, with some astonishing batting collapses. Qualifying for the T20 World Cup could be a bridge too far at the moment, but moving on to the final stage of the qualifiers would be considered a huge success. The winner will proceed to the final round of the global qualifiers.
