Raza opened the batting and scored a 36-ball 58; this innings, allied to Tadiwanashe Marumani’s 31-ball 50 and Ryan Burl’s unbeaten 21-ball 44, helped Zimbabwe pile up 215 for 4 after they were sent in to bat. Zimbabwe’s bowlers then got to work, with Richard Ngarava taking three wickets in his first three overs to help reduce Rwanda to 15 for 5. Didier Ndikubwimana (30) and Martin Akayezu (17) then put on 48 to lend some respectability to their score, but the lower order collapsed thereafter, as Rwanda were bowled out for 71 with Raza picking up 3 for 3 in 2.4 overs.
