Namibia Women and Rwanda Women will meet in the 5th match of the Women's Victoria T20 Series 2026-27 at the Entebbe Cricket Oval in Entebbe.
Both teams have 2 points from their first 2 games. Rwanda Women are currently 2nd, while Namibia Women are 3rd in the points table, with Uganda Women sitting at the top after winning both their matches. A win here will take either side to 4 points, putting them level with Uganda at the top.
Namibia Women have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning both of their last 2 games against Rwanda. They won by 11 runs at this very ground in December 2023 and by 43 runs in Kigali in June 2021. This will be the first time these two sides meet in the ongoing tournament.

Namibia Women have had a mixed start to the tournament. They lost their opening game against Uganda Women by 4 wickets after managing just 73 for 9. However, they bounced back well in their 2nd match, scoring 116 for 8 and beating USA Women by 8 runs.
Sune Wittmann's side is currently 3rd with 2 points, level with Rwanda, and will be looking to make it 2 wins in a row. Their bowling was the big reason behind the win against USA, and they will once again depend heavily on their bowlers.
Captain Sune Wittmann has been Namibia's standout batter so far, scoring 55 runs at an average of 27.50. She is also the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament. Wilka Mwatile has contributed 26 runs, while Mekelaye Mwatile has scored 24. Merczerly Gorases has added 23 runs at a strike rate of 164.28, while Naomi Benjamin has scored 22.
However, the biggest concern for Namibia is their batting. They have managed just 73 for 9 and 116 for 8 in their two games. Apart from Wittmann, no batter has scored more than 22 runs. The middle order needs to step up and provide better support to the captain if Namibia want to put up a competitive total.
Namibia's bowling has been their biggest strength, with Jurriene Diergaardt leading the attack. She was outstanding against USA Women, picking up 5 for 21, the best bowling figures of the tournament so far. She has taken 5 wickets in two matches at an average of 7.40. Wilka Mwatile has also been impressive, taking 3 wickets at an average of 9.00. Eveleen Kejarukua has picked up 2 wickets, while Sylvia Shihepo also made an impact with 2 for 17 in her only appearance.
Namibia's bowlers have already shown that they can defend a low total, as seen against USA. If their batters can manage a decent score, this bowling attack has enough quality to make life difficult for Rwanda Women as well.

Rwanda Women have had a similar start to Namibia, winning one game and losing the other. They began their campaign with a 14 run win over USA Women, defending a total of 100 for 8. However, they came close against Uganda Women in their second match but fell short by just 6 runs while chasing 100.
Marie Bimenyimana's side is currently second in the points table and has looked competitive in both games. Their bowling has been their biggest strength so far, and they will once again rely on it against Namibia
Rwanda's batting has been a team effort so far, with several players making useful contributions. Shakila Niyomuhoza and Fanny Utagushimaninde have scored 32 runs each, making them the joint-highest run-scorers for the side. Gisele Ishimwe has added 26 runs, while Clarisse Uwase and Alice Ikuzwe have scored 23 and 22 runs respectively. Ikuzwe has also maintained an average of 22.00.
However, Rwanda will be looking for someone to play a bigger innings. None of their batters has managed to score more than 21 runs in a single innings so far. Their totals of 100 for 8 and 93 for 8 also show that the batting unit needs to do better. Against a strong Namibia bowling attack, the top order will have to make their starts count.
Rwanda's bowling has been outstanding, with captain Marie Bimenyimana leading from the front. She is currently the highest wicket-taker in the tournament, with 6 wickets at an average of 3.83 and an economy rate of 3.28. Her best figures are 4 for 14, making her the biggest threat in this attack.
Alice Ikuzwe has also been impressive, picking up 3 wickets at an average of 9.66, including 3 for 14 against USA Women. Rosine Irera and Ruth Uwimana have chipped in with 2 wickets each.
Rwanda have managed to keep both their opponents below 100 runs, which speaks volumes about their bowling discipline. On a low-scoring ground, their bowling attack could once again make the difference against Namibia.

Entebbe could see some rain on Sunday, with scattered thunderstorms expected, mainly during the morning. Temperatures are likely to be around 25°C, with 75% humidity and a 40% chance of rain. Since the match is scheduled to start in the morning, there could be some interruptions or even a delayed start if the rain arrives at the wrong time.
All 4 matches in this tournament have been played at the Entebbe Cricket Oval, and it has been a low-scoring venue so far. The first-innings scores have been 73, 100, 116 and 99 with an average of just 97 runs. The highest total here is only 116, and 3 of the 4 matches have been won by the team batting first. Both 100 and 116 have been successfully defended, while the only successful chase saw the team take 19.3 overs to reach a target of 74.
This is clearly not a pitch where batters can play freely or expect big scores. Anything around 110 could be a very good total to defend.
Score Prediction
If Namibia Women bat first: 100-115
If Rwanda Women bat first: 95-110
3 of the 4 matches at this venue have been won by the team batting first, with even low totals being successfully defended twice. Given the conditions, the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first and put runs on the board.
There is very little to separate these 2 sides, with both having the same points and a similar record so far. Both teams have relied more on their bowling than batting. Rwanda have Marie Bimenyimana, the leading bowler of the tournament, while Namibia have Sune Wittmann, the leading batter, and Jurriene Diergaardt, who is coming off an excellent 5 for 21 against USA Women.
Namibia also have the advantage of winning both of their last 2 meetings against Rwanda. Considering their recent form and slightly better batting at the top, Namibia Women look to have a narrow edge in what could be another low-scoring contest.
