Botswana head into the contest with a dominating victory against Mali. They bowled out the opposition on a second-lowest total of the competition. Mali managed only 24 runs and Botswana chased down without losing a wicket. In the opening game, they beat Sierra Leone by 70 runs. They posted 166 runs on the board and restricted them to 96 runs. With two wins from two games, they are sitting first in the table.
Nabil Master picked up a six-wicket haul in the last game. He could also be a player to watch out for. We back him to pick two or more wickets in this game. Openers from Botswana are also top performers. They added 111 runs so far in two matches. Karabo Motlhanka and Monroux Kasselman both have scored one half-century each. Home support would be key for them.

Cameroon enter the contest with a narrow victory against Sierra Leone in the low-scoring thriller. Their bowlers did a great job and bundled out the opposition on 64. However, this small chase look like a heavy one as Cameroon lost nine wickets. They managed to survive a disappointing defeat. It was an important win for Cameroon.
Cameroon lost their opening game to Rwanda by 7 wickets. They were restricted to 107 runs and Rwanda chased down the total with eight balls left. The bowling department has done a good job in both games but batting has let them down. Bruno Toube could be a player to watch out for. We back him to score above 25 runs in the game. Julien Abega is also an impact player. He picked up a 5-wicket haul in the last game.

The pitch at Botswana Cricket Association Oval 2 is a pure batting paradise. This surface is only used when we have two matches at the same time. During the only game, Kenya posted 247 runs. It’s a complete batting friendly wicket. During the ongoing competition, the average 1st innings score in Botswana Oval during the Sub Regional Qualifiers is 117 runs. The pitch provides balance in both innings but batting first is always an advantage.
Scores prediction:
If Botswana bat first - 155-165 runs
If Cameroon bat first - 100-110 runs
Out of six matches on this surface during the competition, batting first sides won three matches. Chasing sides also won on three occasions but their chase wasn’t easy. In one game, even Sierra Leone almost defended 64. 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: Botswana to win the coin toss.
Botswana enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. The home advantage is a bonus for them. In first two games, they looked more dominant with the bat and ball. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a momentum win.
Botswana to win.
