The 2024 Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Rwanda from 30 May to 8 June 2024. [1] [2] It was the tenth edition of the annual Kwibuka T20 Tournament, which was first played in 2014 in remembrance of the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. [3] The participating teams were Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe A. [4] The tournament consisted of a round-robin stage, after which the top two sides will advance to the final. [5] Rwanda were the defending champions, having won the tournament for the first time in 2023. [6]

Contents

A 12-run victory over Rwanda meant that Uganda were the first side to secure a place in the final, having won each of their first six matches. [7] This result also meant that the hosts would have needed to beat Zimbabwe A in their last match in the round-robin to have a chance of making the final. [8] Rwanda did manage to win the game, but the margin of victory was not quite enough to qualify for the final, with Zimbabwe advancing on net run rate. [9]

Uganda beat Zimbabwe A by 2 runs in a tense low-scoring final. [10] Rwanda beat Nigeria to claim third place, Kenya beat Botswana in the fifth-place play-off, and Malawi took seventh place ahead of Cameroon. [11] Zimbabwe's Kelis Ndhlovu was named player of the tournament. [12]
