Rwanda on Tuesday bowled out Mali for a mere six runs, the lowest total in a women’s T20Is, in the Women’s T20 tournament at the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium.

The Mali innings lasted nine overs, but only one of their six runs came off the bat, courtesy opener Mariam Samake. After that, it was a sequence of ducks, with five extras, reported ESPNcricinfo.

For Rwanda, 19–year–old pacer Josiane Nyirankundineza picked up three wickets without conceding a run, while medium–pacer Marie Diane Bimenyimana and legspinner Margueritte Vumiliya picked up two wickets apiece.

It took Rwandan women just four balls to finish their chase as they created the record for the biggest margin of victory with 116 balls remaining.
