Only 2 of them are not ethnic Balinese/Bali-born athlete according to reports. In preparation to the U19 World Cup they had a 2 week training camp in a sports school in Bangalore. I hope they continue to grow.

So     won 2nd day.

 

The match of day was  v 

Pakistan survived the Rwandan Test . It was a pretty even game, Rwanda were pretty good in the middle overs just made few errors which meant they only managed 106 in their 20 overs, a comparatively good score for women's U19 level. Then had Pakistan in all sorts of trouble for 10 overs after which they played well. It did not look like a newcomer at all and it will give them a boost to reach the next stage, would be a fairy tale story as the sport is a new one and they grown it well in schools and colleges.

 

Zimbabwe meanwhile were bowled out for 25 runs against England.

 

Indonesia managed a hard earned 74 against New Zealand with Ayu Kurnia (13runs including 2 fours) and Gek Ulan(16 runs) showing some resistance.

If you consider that cricket didn't exist in Rwanda until the start of this century, this is is a remarkable achievement

 beat  by 4 wickets. The West Indies were bowled for 70 runs with all their 10 wickets taken by spinners aided by some brilliant fielding. Captain Gisele Ishimwe steadied the chase to cause one of the all time Cricket World Cup upset,at least on paper.

 

Interestingly Rwanda were almost out of the group stages of African Qualifier last year and somehow edged Nigeria , lost to Tanzania and reached semis where they won and then beat Tanzania in the finals in arguably the best  game of the tournament.

 

Here in this WC they beat 2 full members  and  and almost beat New Zealand and Pakistan.
