During the opening game, they posted the tournament’s lowest team total of 17 runs. Rwanda posted 288 runs while batting first. It was their seventh consecutive defeat in T20Is.
They are even struggling to get the three-digit mark. Their highest total was 41 runs in the previous qualifying event. Ivory Coast suffered a 271-run loss against Rwanda. Kone Abdoul Aziz could be a player to watch out for.. His economy was slightly better than the other bowlers. We back him to pick two wickets in this game.

Cameroon enter the contest with a defeat against Botswana. They failed to chase 150 runs and managed only 78/8 in the 2nd innings. One day back, they faced a narrow victory against Sierra Leone in the low-scoring thriller. Their bowlers did a great job and bowled out the opposition on 64. Cameroon still lost nine wickets in the victory.
Meanwhile, they lost their opening game to Rwanda by 7 wickets. The bowling department has done a good job in two of three 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 previous victory. During last year’s qualifiers, their all match scores were in double digit.

The pitch at Botswana Cricket Association Oval 2 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 158 runs. Meanwhile, it hosted only three games so far. Anything above 160 can be a challenging total to chase.
Scores prediction:
If Cameroon bat first - 120-130 runs
If Ivory Cast bat first - 70-80 runs
Chasing sides have struggled so far in the 2026 sub regional qualifiers. Out of nine games, batting first sides won four. On ground 2, Mali conceded 247 runs and in another game, Rwanda lost eight wickets in a chase of 102 runs. 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.
Cameroon enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They have a better performance against Ivory Coast. Their bowling gives them a certain edge. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a comeback win after losing the first game.
Cameroon to win.
