How badly do you want it, Rwanda? 56th-ranked Rwanda 🇷🇼 take on 49th-ranked Botswana 🇧🇼 in a decisive clash that could determine qualification for the Africa Regional Qualifier. An expected Kenya 🇰🇪 victory over Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 would move them to 10 points, with a strong net run rate likely enough to secure one of the two qualifying spots. That would leave the Rwanda–Botswana encounter as a virtual eliminator, with the winner potentially claiming the second spot. However, net run rate could prove decisive if all three teams finish level on 10 points. What a fantastic advertisement for African cricket. Both qualification spots remain up for grabs heading into the final game. #AssociateVoice #RwandaCricket
