Kwibuka Women's T20 tournament 2021: KEN-W vs NIG-W preview

The Nigeria Women are all, set to square off against the two-time champions Kenya Women in an upcoming encounter of the T20 competition. The two teams have had a contrasting start to their respective campaigns this year. Kenya claimed a dominant 9-wicket win against Botswana in their opening clash of the season. On the other hand, Nigeria's batting let them down in their first game as they could only manage to post a paltry score of 52 against Namibia. After the embarrassing loss, they will be hopeful of staging a turnaround. While Kenya are placed second on the points table, Nigeria are languishing at the penultimate position. The KEN-W vs NIG-W scorecard will be available on FanCode and Women’s CricZone Youtube channel.

KEN-W vs NIG-W: Pitch Conditions and Weather Report

The conditions at Kigali seem to be ideal for an uninterrupted game of cricket on Tuesday. According to AccuWeather clear skies are expected during the first innings of the game. However, there will be significant cloud coverage as the game progresses. There are no chances of rain on the given day and the temperatures are likely to hover around 22 degrees Celsius during the game. 

The wicket has been conducive to faster bowlers in the tournament. The pacers are expected to play a major role in the upcoming fixtures as well. The teams batting first have managed to cross the 100-run mark in only one of the four matches so far. A low-scoring thriller is on the cards between the two exciting teams. The captain winning the toss could be inclined to bowl first, considering the pitch and weather conditions.
