Mali's Women Team All Out For Just 6 Against Rwanda

The way Mali’s women team performed against Rwanda in the Kwibuka Women’s T20 tournament in the Rwandan capital of Kigali City, it became crystal clear that they need to play out of their skins even to get some recognition let alone becoming an elite in the game. Mali’s women were all out for just 6.

Surprisingly, it took Rwanda nine overs to bowl out their opponents. What is even more embarrassing for Mali is that 5 of those six runs were extras. Opening batter Mariam Samake was the only Mali player who managed to register a score on the scoreboard.
