Eswatini break the wrong records

The punch-drunk team from the tiny kingdom staggered out of the Botswana Cricket Association (BCA) Oval after breaking all the wrong records. Botswana was the first to throw the first punch which floored Eswatini on September 9, 2021. Botswana scored 224 (one of the highest scores) and in response, the sorry Eswatini batters could only score 29 in a laboured innings which lasted 14.6 overs. The 195 run defeat was, at the time, the fifth-worst in terms of runs. It was Botswana women’s team's highest victory margins.

Two days later, Eswatini was thrown right back into the deep end as eventual winners, Zimbabwe did not show any mercy. Zimbabwe cantered to a 10-wicket victory in one of the lowest scoring matches. Eswatini managed a meagre 17 runs all out before Zimbabwe needed just above two overs to reach the victory target. The defeat also entered the record as one of the worst, featuring in the top 20.
