Rwanda women’s national cricket team will face Uganda in a game that will open the 2022 Kwibuka Women’s T20 tournament scheduled from June 9-20 at Gahanga Cricket Stadium in Kigali. The Zimbabwean tactician will be hoping to utilize the likes of Henriette Ishimwe who recently participated at the Fairbreak T20 Invitational Tournament in Dubai, United Arab Emirates earlier in May, as he bids to finally inspire the team to their first silverware at the tournament which they have never won.
