The BCA Kalahari Women's T20I Tournament 2025 heats up as Botswana takes on Sierra Leone in Match 5 at Botswana Cricket Association Oval 1, Gaborone, on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 13:30 IST. Sierra Leone started strong, securing two wins on April 26—defeating Mozambique by 7 wickets and Eswatini by 10 wickets—showcasing their batting depth and bowling prowess. Botswana, playing on home turf, will look to leverage their familiarity with the conditions.  


The Gaborone pitch is balanced, offering early movement for pacers and some turn for spinners, while batters can score freely once settled. Botswana’s key players include Salome Sunday, who has scored 205 runs in T20Is and taken 5 wickets, making her a top all-rounder pick. For Sierra Leone, Ann Marie Kamara, with 241 runs and a T20I fifty, is a must-have batter. Linda Bull, their captain, can anchor the innings, while Mary Desmond’s leg-spin (15 wickets, economy 4.14) makes her a game-changer.
