Match 1- Kenya vs Rwanda


Current Form Kenya:

Kenya have been in spectacular form in T20 cricket lately. 

They have won all of the last 5 matches they participated in. Kenya have been performing well in all departments of the game and they will be starting as favorites to win the Africa Continent Cup T20.

Players to look out for:

1. Rakep Patel - He has been awarded captaincy on the basis of his red hot form in International cricket. Patel can hit the ball a long way and will play a key role for Kenya in the Africa Continent Cup T20.

2. Shem Ngoche- Ngoche is a champion bowler who doesn't give away freebies to the batters and also picks up wickets when it matters the most.


Current Form Rwanda:

Rwanda have been in terrible form in T20 cricket. 

They have performed under par as compared to the other associate nations around the world. They have lost all of the last 5 matches they have participated in.


Players to look out for:

1. Eric Dusingizimana- He has been at the center of Uganda's performance in the recent matches. Dusingizimana bats in the top order and takes his team off to brilliant starts.

2.  Kevin Irakoze- He has bowled phenomenally in the previous few encounters of Rwanda. Irakoze has a knack of providing breakthroughs and he will be key to Uganda bowling attack.


Let’s have a look at the squads:

Rwanda

Clinton Rubagumya (c), Kevin Irakoze, Martin Akayezu, Bosco Tuyizere, Zappy Maurice, Ignace Ntirenganya, Eric Dusingizimana, Wilson Niyitanga, Emile Rukiriza, Eric Kubwimana, Oscar Manishimwe, Eric Niyomugaba

Kenya

Rakep Patel (c), Lucas Ndandason, Sachin Bhudia, Emmanuel Bundi, Irfan Karim (wk), Peter Langat, Shem Ngoche, Collins Obuya, Nelson Odhiambo, Rushab Patel, Vraj Patel, Pushkar Sharma, Tanzeel Sheikh, Sukhdeep Singh

Match 2- Botswana vs Uganda


Current Form Uganda:

Uganda have been on a roll in T20 cricket.

They have won 4 out of their last 5 completed fixtures. The presence of Dinesh Nakrani adds to the prospects of Uganda in the Africa Continent Cup T20.

Uganda's highlight performance came against Namibia side last year. Although they lost the 3 match series by 2-1, they surprised everyone with their 177 run chase against the hosts. Uganda are second favorites to win the tournament.

Players to look out for:

1. Dinesh Nakrani - He is a power hitter who can single handedly win games for his team. Uganda may try to promote him up the order to fully utilise his potential.

2. Henry Ssenyondo- He not only keeps the batters quiet in the middle overs but also provides crucial breakthroughs at important moments of the match. He is certainly a player to look out for in the Africa Continent Cup T20.


Current Form Botswana:

Botswana have been in great form in T20 cricket. 

They have won all of their last 5 competed fixtures. Most of their wins have come against weaker teams but they can easily surprise Kenya or Uganda on their day.

Players to look out for:

1. Vinoo Balakrishnan- Balakrishnan has performed very well in the recent matches for Botswana. He plays with a lot of freedom and takes his team to decent starts.

2. Druvkumar Maisuria- He has picked up plenty of wickets in the last few games for Botswana. If he gets going in the tournament, the opposition teams will find it hard to score runs freely in the middle overs.


Let's have a look at the squads:

Botswana

Karabo Motlhanka (captain), Thatayaone Tshose, Mmoloki Mooketsi, Phemelo Silas, Valentine Mbazo (wicketkeeper), Reginald Nehonde, Druvkumar Maisuria, Boteng Maphosa, Amir Saiyed, Karabo Modise, Katlo Piet, Boemo Khumalo, Boemo Kgosiemang, Vinoo Balakrishnan

Uganda

Brian Masaba (c), Dinesh Nakrani, Kenneth Waiswa, Pascal Murungi, Riazat Ali Shah, Ronak Patel, Alpesh Ramjani, Juma Miyagi, Frank Nsubuga, Henry Ssenyondo, Simon Ssesazi, Ronald Lutaaya, Cyrus Kakuru, Cosmas Kyewuta, Roger Mukasa.
