Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament – All the Latest Action
If you love cricket and want to see Africa’s best women players in a fast‑paced format, you’ve landed in the right spot. The Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament brings together rising stars and seasoned pros for a week of thrilling matches, all played in Rwanda. Below you’ll find the basics, the current buzz, and tips on how to follow every boundary and wicket.
What You Need to Know About the Kwibuka T20
The tournament started as a tribute to the victims of the 1994 genocide, but it’s grown into a key event on the women’s cricket calendar. Six national sides – Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana and a development XI – compete in a round‑robin followed by a final. Each game is ten overs per side, so the action is nonstop and scores go up quickly.
Matches are held at the Gahanga Cricket Stadium, a modern venue with a grass pitch that mimics international conditions. The schedule runs from early June to mid‑July, with games almost every day. Because the format is short, teams often rotate bowlers and chase aggressively, which makes for plenty of drama.
Key players to watch include Rwanda’s captain Jane Murungi, who mixes solid batting with clever captaincy, and Uganda’s all‑rounder Sarah Namatovu, known for her swing bowling and quick fire runs. Keep an eye on Kenya’s fast bowler Aisha Hassan – she’s been topping the wicket charts this edition.
Beyond the on‑field excitement, the tournament is a platform for growing women’s cricket across East Africa. Local schools host coaching clinics, and NGOs use the event to promote gender equality and peacebuilding. So every boundary you cheer for also helps a bigger cause.
