Kenya will take on Nigeria in the 11th match of the ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2021 at the Rwanda Cricket Stadium in Kigali on Saturday.
Kenya have had a sensational campaign so far. They’ve won three of their four matches in the tournament and are on top of the table with six points to their name. Kenya have won their last two matches on the bounce and this will be their second match of the day.
Uganda have also done brilliantly. Like Kenya, they’ve also registered wins in three of their four matches and are currently on an unbeaten three-game streak. Uganda are second in the table because of their slightly lower Net Run Rate. This will be an interesting clash between the top two teams in the competition.
