Kenya Women will be competing against team’s from Botswana, Rwanda, Namibia and Nigeria in the competition, with all teams scheduled to play in a single round-robin format, followed by the semifinals and the finals/third place play-off. All the matches in the tournament will carry ranking points towards ICC Women’s T20I team rankings table.
