TEAMS PREVIEW
Botswana Preview
Botswana head into the contest with a big loss against Kenya on Friday. They suffered their first defeat in five games. Kenya posted 193/3 while batting first and Botswana couldn’t reach the target. However, they retained their position at second in the table. The hosts would take on Rwanda next and defeat will allow Kenya to reach second spot. If they beat Rwanda with a good margin, they can finish at the top.
Earlier, they won four successive games in the Sub Regional Qualifiers 2026. In their most recent game, Botswana smashed Ivory Coast by 231 runs, following a 71-run victory over Cameroon while defending 149. They also beat Mali by 10-wickets and Sierra Leone by 70 runs. Out of five games, they defended the total three times. Their next game is against Rwanda, whom they defeated only twice in seven games.
The hosts are averaging 188 runs while batting first. They reached 131 runs in the previous chase as well. Nabil Master could be a player to watch out for. He has nine wickets so far in the competition. Master also contributed 36 runs in the last game. We back him to pick two or more wickets in this game. Karabo Motlhanka also have scored one century and one half-century. Monroux Kasselman also has one century.

Karabo Motlhanka(c), Monroux Kasselman(w), Ameer Saiyed, Boemo Khumalo, Brandon van Zyl, Dhruvkumar Maisuria, Katlo Piet, Phemelo Silas, Reginald Nehonde, Thatayaone Tshose, Nabil Master

Rwanda Preview
Rwanda are just one good performance away to step closer towards the main round of the T20 World Cup qualifiers. They won five out of five games in the African Sub Regional Qualifiers 2026. They secured an eight-wicket victory against Sierra Leone. Out of five games, they won four matches while chasing.
Rwanda can’t afford losing the final game as one big defeat can take away the top spot glory from them. Kenya will face Ivory Coast and they will push the NRR. Rwanda hold a 5-2 record against Botswana. Ntirenganya picked up a three-wicket haul in the game. Akayezu and Nadir also grabbed two wickets each. Hamza Khan could be a player to watch out for. The right-hander scored 164 runs off 65 balls against Ivory Coast, and 60 not out against Cameroon. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game.

Hamza Khan, Didier Ndikubwimana(w/c), Isae Niyomugabo, Daniel Gumyusenge, Oscar Manishimwe, Emile Rukiriza, Muhammad Nadir, Martin Akayezu, Yves Cyusa, Zappy Bimenyimana, Ignace Ntirenganya

Toss: To Bat
During the sub regional qualifiers, chasing has been a pattern but batting first sides won more matches in the Sub Regional Qualifiers. 108 is the highest successful run-chase in this competition. It’s a surface where the captain should bat first and look for 130-140. Both teams have had much success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Rwanda to win the coin toss.
