Get ready for an enthralling clash as Kenya (KEN) squares off against Sierra Leone (SIL) in Match 3 of the East-West Africa Cup Qualifiers 2023, set to take place at Willowmore Park in Benoni. This tournament, featuring seven competing teams, is structured in a round-robin format, and this match marks the maiden encounter between Kenya and Sierra Leone in T20I cricket, adding an element of anticipation to this fixture.

Zimbabwe posted an imposing total of 217 runs for the loss of four wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Kenya, in response, struggled to find momentum and managed only 107 runs in 20 overs, losing eight wickets. Irfan Karim's 35 runs and Pushkar Sharma's contribution of 21 runs were the standout performances for Kenya. Additionally, Shem Ngoche's bowling effort resulted in claiming two crucial wickets.

In their last match against Ghana in the West Africa T20I trophy, Sierra Leone exhibited a remarkable performance. Ghana faced a batting collapse, being restricted to a total of 72 runs for the loss of all wickets in 18 overs. In pursuit of the target, Sierra Leone showcased resilience, successfully chasing down the total in 18 overs for the loss of four wickets. George Ngegba displayed an all-round performance, contributing 29 runs with the bat and also scalping three wickets. George Sesay and Ibrahim Kamara equally shone by securing three wickets each, contributing significantly to Sierra Leone's victory.
