Matchday three of the 2026 Victoria Series saw Namibia pick up their second win of the tournament against Rwanda.
Namibia produced a clinical all-round effort led by Kayleen Ann Green to bowl out Rwanda for 59 and wrap up a comprehensive 39-run victory at Entebbe Cricket Oval.
On a chilly morning, Namibia elected to bat after winning the toss and swiftly navigated a tight Rwandan bowling attack to post 98/8 in 20 overs.
Player of the Match Kayleen Ann Green anchored the innings with a patient 39 off 49 balls, while late acceleration from Wilka Mwatile (17 off 15) and Naomi Benjamin (14 off 13) pushed Namibia near the century mark.
Rwanda skipper Diane Marie Bimenyimana stood out with the ball, picking up 3/23 in her four-over spell to restrict the Namibians from pulling away.
In reply, Rwanda’s chase stalled almost immediately against Namibia’s disciplined opening bowlers as Mwatile picked up Rwanda opener Fanny Utagushimaninde’s wicket.
Mwatile struck again for another duck as Belise Murekatete was sent for an early shower, leaving Rwanda in early trouble at four runs for two wickets.
Gisele Ishimwe, with ten runs, attempted to consolidate, but a relentless Namibian attack quickly broke through the middle order.
Kayleen Ann Green capped off her brilliant day with figures of 3/10, while Mekelaye Mwatile (2/11) and Arrasta Diergaardt (2/8) tore through the lower order to dismiss Rwanda for 59 in 17.5 overs, sealing an emphatic 39-run win.
