Quick victories for Namibia and Zambia, but Botswana still leads the pack

Namibia bowled Mozambique all out for 48 in 21.4 overs with Bernard Scholtz getting figures of 4 for 19 in 7, earning him the Man of the Match Award. The only Mozambican to reach double figures was Akash Ramniklal.

Zambia dismissed the struggling Lesotho team in the 22nd over for 26, due to the outstanding bowling of Saluadin who took 4 for 6 in 5 overs and was instrumental in a run out. Zambia only needed 5 overs to knock off the runs.

Botswana felt the first signs of concern creep in when they faced Malawi and lost there top three batsman for a mere 36 runs. Joel Carew (90 from 96 balls) and Denzil Sequeria (63 from 54 balls) steadied the innings. Malawi was soon is trouble as they found themselves at 10 for 3. It was all downhill from then on with the only resistance coming from the not out batsman Savjani.
