ICC World Cricket League Div.3
Day 5

Rwanda 134/10
Sierra Leone 135/9
Rwanda lost by one wicket

THREE dropped catches were the difference as Sierra Leone pipped Rwanda to a second spot finish in the 2009 ICC World Cricket League Division 3 tournament which wrapped up yesterday in Malawi.

Playing on a poor batting wicket, anything in excess of 120 was a defendable score and Rwanda batted reasonably well as they posted 134 in 49.3 overs.

The in-form Subashish Samaly led Rwanda’s scoring wheels with a well-worked 44runs while Shijith Kumar weighed in with 33.

In the second innings, the team started well as Rwanda’s ex-captain Srinath Vardhineni, who was playing his last international game, ran through Sierra Leone’s opening order to finish off with impressive bowling figures of 4 for 15. But that was about it as the other bowlers were let down by poor fielding.

Malawi won the tournament which also had attracted Lesotho and Gambia.
