Rwanda registers biggest win in terms of balls to spare
As for China's instance, having been bundled out for 14 in reply to UAE's 203/3, the latter registered a mammoth win by 189 runs, which remains a record, in terms of the biggest win by runs. As for Rwanda's instance, UAE have scripted the record of the biggest win in terms of balls to spare, which is 116.
Only a run came off the bat for Mali
Although Mali did manage to score six runs in their innings, the notable thing was that only a run came legally. It was opener Mariam Samake, who managed to score the run off the bat, while the remainder of five runs were given away by the Rwanda bowlers in the form of extras. Rwanda's medium-pacer Josiane Nyirankundineza was the top wicket-taker, claiming 3/0.
Four types of dismissals were involved
The Mali innings witnessed four types of dismissals. While three batsmen were bowled, three were caught, along with two leg-before and two run-outs.
Rwanda kept it short and simple
Rwanda openers Antoinette Uwimbabazi and Nyirankundineza scored the runs in a swift manner. While the opening delivery was wide from Mali's Youma Sangare, the next three deliveries were a single each. The fourth delivery was pelted for four by Nyirankundineza.
