# Rwandan cricket team in Tanzania in 2022–23

The Rwandan men's cricket team toured Tanzania in October and November 2022 to play a five-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series and a 50-over match against the hosts Tanzania. The series was part of both teams' preparation before they participated in the 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier in Rwanda later in November. Tanzania, captained by Abhik Patwa, won the five-match series 5-0, securing victory in each of the matches with ease.
