According to Nigerian cricket analyst Ijeoma Okigbo, Rwanda is a team to watch at the tournament as they are currently flying high in the sport.
“Rwanda is enjoying a great Bond and their women’s team is on top form. But again,I see Cameroon coming to the event to show how far they have improved from their last dismal show in Botswana at the Women’s T20 World Cup qualifier. I even think they may be one of the teams to watch out for at the event.” Okigbo told the Nigerian Guardian.
The other Group also has Nigeria, Ghana and Gambia who will battle for supremacy in the competition.
Both Rwanda and Nigeria were seeded in their respective groups.
