Nigeria’s Female National Cricket team, the“Yellow-Green” are presently topping the leaderboard of the ongoing Kwibuka T20 Women Cricket Tournament hosted in Rwanda. They beat the host, Rwanda; Botswana; and Kenya; in their first three matches at the tournament. The Coach Leke Oyede tutored side brushed aside their host in their opening encounter on Saturday with a six-wicket victory at the Gahanga Cricket Stadium in Kigali. The host had left an 87-run inning for the Nigeria women to chase and got overwhelmed by the visitors as they wrapped up the game in 18.2 over with a spectacular show that earned Salome Sunday; the player of the match. “I think the opening victory against the host, Rwanda, pumped up the girls’ confidence. Naturally, Nigeria and Rwanda’s encounters at this level have evolved into a friendly rivalry and, since we beat them to win the last tournament in April, in Lagos, I know we will need to work harder anytime we meet them again,” Oyede said after the opening Victory on Saturday. Yesterday morning, the Nigerian ladies beat Botswana by six wickets (Botswana 97/6, Nigeria 98/4), before humbling the three-time winner of the title, Kenya later in the afternoon by three wickets. Kenya batting first had set a target of 95/4 (20 overs) that set the team up for a hard-fought 98/7 (16.4 overs) to secure the needed 3-wicket victory, with 16-year-old Lucky Piety picking the player of the match for both Sunday games. According to Oyede; “These wins put us on top of...

Schedule: January 15 v Pakistan in Potchefstroom January 17 v Zimbabwe in Potchefstroom January 19 v England in Potchefstroom Key Player - Gisele Ishimwe Few players have the senior international experience of seam-bowling all-rounder Gisele Ishimwe, and the skipper is the perfect player to lead an emerging force in African cricket. No other player at the tournament can boast a T20I century, with Ishimwe posting 114* against Eswatini at the 2021 Africa Qualifier for the T20 World Cup. Ishimwe hit 12 fours from the opening spot, facing 69 deliveries as she batted through. Gisele boasts two T20I fifties to compliment the ton, with a performance against regional giants Kenya in June 2022 perhaps her career highlight to this point. Her 56* helped Rwanda to a competitive total of 113, before claiming a crucial late wicket in her team’s total defence. Marie Bimenyimana trusted her with the final over, though was pipped by Kenya No.3 batter Venasa Ooko as Kenya snuck home with two balls to spare. Gisele will likely bowl first change on top of her batting and captaincy responsibilities, and holds the key if Rwanda are to make a fairytale run at the tournament. Safe travels & best of luck girls 💪 🇷🇼 Nineteen years after becoming Members of the ICC, the game of cricket embodies a cultural and historical shift away from atrocities in a bygone era that so cruelly denied the country’s mothers and aunties. Picking up the pieces in the wake of the 1994 genocide, Rwanda enthroned English ...

Rwanda won a crucial encounter against Zimbabwe to bolster their chances of making it to the Super Six stage of the tournament. Merveille Uwase (18 from 33) and Cynthia Tuyizere (30 from 44) were watchful yet solid in a partnership of 49, as Rwanda focussed on saving their wickets in the first 10 overs. An aggressive knock from skipper Gisele Ishimwe (34 from 23) guided them to a competitive total of 119/8. Coming off a number of poor batting performances, Zimbabwe were immediately put under pressure by a disciplined Rwanda. By the 12th over, the asking rate had jumped to over eight runs an over. After the settled Kelly Ndiraya (20 from 38) fell to a brilliant diving catch from Sylvia Usabyimana, Zimbabwe lost the plot and never came close to their target. Henriette Ishimwe ended their misery with a superb double hat-trick (4/13). This is Rwanda’s first win at an ICC World Cup. Grace Scrivens (24 from 21) and a quickfire 13 off 8 from Niamh Holland helped England get off to a quick start, but three powerplay wickets kept things in check for Pakistan. However, Seren Smale (37 from 33) and Ryana Macdonald-Gay (35* from 22) lifted England to a decent first innings total of 156/7 that proved well out of Pakistan’s reach. An extremely controlled bowling performance saw Pakistan fall way behind the run rate. Shawaal Zulfiqar (25 off 32) and Syeda Aroob Shah (34 from 36) made the most notable contributions with the bat, but all eight England bowlers returned tidy figures to ensur...
