TEAMS PREVIEW
Sierra Leone Preview
Sierra Leone have been a poor side so far in the 2026 Sub Regional Qualifiers. In the previous game, they suffered a defeat against Rwanda. They failed to cross 100 runs while batting first. Earlier, Kenya defeated them by 38 runs.
They are yet to get a victory in the ongoing competition. They suffered a 70-run defeat against Botswana in the opening game. Later, Cameroon handed over a heartbreak by one wicket in a low-scoring game.
Batting remains a big concern for them. Sierra Leone will be facing Ivory Coast next. They have beaten them in the only T20I. Both teams are having poor campaigns. Yegbeh Jalloh could be a player to watch out for. He bats in the opening slot. He was in great form during the West Africa T20I Trophy. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game.
Sierra Leone Predicted Playing XI:
Abass Gbla, Abu Kamara, Alusine Turay, Eric Turay, John Bangura, Lansana Lamin(c), John Lassayo, Mohamed Turay, Raymond Coker, Samuel Conteh, Yegbeh Jalloh(w)

Ivory Coast Preview
Ivory Coast should forget this competition. They have been the worst performing side of the Sub Regional Qualifiers. They lost their ninth consecutive game in a qualifying event.
In each and every game, Ivory Coast suffered a one-sided loss. Ivory Coast failed to cross the 100-run mark for the ninth consecutive game. Earlier, they lost to Mali, Rwanda and Cameroon.
In the last game, Botswana posted 255 runs while batting first. Both openers scored centuries for them. It was another disappointing show from Ivory Coast. Ivory Coast managed 78 runs against Mali and it’s their highest total in the competition.
Kone Abdoul Aziz could be a player to watch out for. He picked up two wickets against Cameroon. He has been better option than the other bowlers. We back him to pick two wickets in this game.

Dosso Issiaka(c), Ouattara Issouf(w), Ouattara Mohamed, Kouakou Wilfried, Mimi Alex, Kone Aziz, Maiga Ibrahim, Kone Nagnama, Dje Claude, Ouattara Djakaridja, Pamba Dimitri, Kouassi Hermann

SLE vs CIV Pitch Report
The pitch at Botswana Cricket Association Oval 2 is a good batting-friendly wicket. However, the later the match progresses, the pitch will get slow. This surface hosts hardly one or two games in a day so the pitch remains fresh. The average 1st innings score in Botswana Oval during the Sub Regional Qualifiers is 158 runs. The pitch gives balance in both innings but batting first is always an advantage. The surface gets better in the second innings.
Scores prediction:
If Sierra Leone bat first - 155-165 runs
If Ivory Coast bat first - 60-70 runs
Toss: To Bat
There is a good balance in both innings. In the first 12 games, chasing sides won six games and batting first sides also won six. However, chasing is still a tough call. During the sub regional qualifiers, batting first remains the first choice for the captain.
Sierra Leone almost defended 64 here so they are aware of the conditions. It’s a surface where the captain should bat first and look for 120-130. Both teams have had much success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Ivory Coast to win the coin toss.
SLE vs CIV
Winning Prediction
Sierra Leone enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. Ivory Coast’s form makes them clear favourites. Leone are likely to dominate the game in all departments. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a momentum win.
Sierra Leone to win.
