Tanzania Women vs Rwanda Women– Match 1 of NCF Women’s T20 Invitational 25th February, 2:45 PM IST Tafawa Balewa Square, Cricket Oval, Lagos, Nigeria
Rwanda Women contested in the finals last year, where Nigeria Women emerged victorious by just nine runs. Meanwhile, Tanzania were not a part of the event last year, and this will be their first appearance.
Tanzania – NA Rwanda Women – NA
Since this is the opening match of the tournament, it will be interesting to see as to how the wicket behaves. Going by the totals being posted by teams last year, the surface should be the slower slide, and more suited to spinners. None of the teams managed to cross the 100-run mark last year.
