First, they came into the news by being all out for just 6 runs against Rwanda, which is the lowest ever total in Women’s cricket history and now today they have been part of two new records.

Uganda captain Rita Musamali hit an unbeaten 103 and opener Prosvovia Alako scored 116 to drive their side to 314 for two from 20 overs. Mali bowled 61 extras in the innings, including three byes, 28 wides and 30 no balls. Mali’s bowler Oumou Sow gave 82 runs in just 3 overs, with 10 Wides and 16 no balls, she bowled at an economy of 27.33

In reply Mali got all out by scoring just 10 runs, they faced 11.1 overs to score those 10 runs. For Mali, T Konate scored four runs, which is the highest score among the Mali batsmen. For Uganda, M Anyigo took three Mali wickets and S Kakai took two.
