U19 Women's T20 World Cup: Rwanda's Fairytale Run Continues With Surprise Win Over West Indies

By IANS News January 23, 2023 • 12:16 PM View: 559

Rwanda's fairytale run continued in the inaugural ICC Under 19-Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa, with a surprise four-wicket victory over West Indies. Having beaten Zimbabwe in the Group stage, Rwanda's upset victory over West Indies in the Super Sixes stage is now their biggest victory till date.

It was the calm and confident Gisele Ishimwe who saw Rwanda home by four wickets, as they chased down the West Indian effort of 70 all out, with 10 balls to spare. Gisele's 31 not out, from 53 balls, was full of maturity and clarity, knowing what was at stake for her and her country.
