The 6th match of ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2021 will be played between Kenya and Nigeria at Integrated Polytechnic Regional Centre, Kigali City on Nov 18.

Kenya has so far played two games, winning one and losing the other. They are presently ranked third with an NRR of -1.200, with 2 points in their bag. Kenya defeated Uganda by 1 run in the first match, owing to Nehemiah Odhiambo and Elijah Otieno’s brilliant bowling, which prevented Uganda from chasing the total of 162 runs. Kenya, on the other hand, was defeated by Tanzania by 49 runs in their second encounter. Kenya will try to win this game in order to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Meanwhile, Nigeria has arrived after two consecutive defeats by Tanzania (6 wickets) and Uganda (12 runs). They are now in fourth place, with an NRR of -2.365, and it appears like qualifying will be difficult for them. They’ll want to win their remaining game while also keeping an eye on the results of other teams, as their qualification is heavily reliant on the results of other teams.
