The pitch at Botswana Cricket Association Oval 1 is slightly a good batting track. This ground has different pitches and curators have opted for the batting-friendly wicket. Still, it gives slight help to the pacers. It is a decent T20I batting surface with the average 1st innings score on this pitch during the 2026 Sub Regional Qualifiers is 137 runs. Anything above 160 can be a challenging total to chase.
Scores prediction:
If Cameroon bat first - 110-120 runs
If Kenya bat first - 130-140
Chasing sides have struggled so far in the 2026 sub regional qualifiers. Out of 12 games, batting first sides won six. It’s a good batting wicket but it also depends on the batters to take maximum advantage. It’s a surface where teams should bat first and get 140-150 runs. Both teams have had much success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Cameroon to win the coin toss.
