# 2024 Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament

The 2024 Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Rwanda from 30 May to 8 June 2024. It was the tenth edition of the annual Kwibuka T20 Tournament, which was first played in 2014 in remembrance of the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The participating teams were Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe A. The tournament consisted of a round-robin stage, after which the top two sides will advance to the final. Rwanda were the defending champions, having won the tournament for the first time in 2023.
A 12-run victory over Rwanda meant that Uganda were the first side to secure a place in the final, having won each of their first six matches. This result also meant that the hosts would have needed to beat Zimbabwe A in their last match in the round-robin to have a chance of making the final. Rwanda did manage to win the game, but the margin of victory was not quite enough to qualify for the final, with Zimbabwe advancing on net run rate.
Uganda beat Zimbabwe A by 2 runs in a tense low-scoring final. Rwanda beat Nigeria to claim third place, Kenya beat Botswana in the fifth-place play-off, and Malawi took seventh place ahead of Cameroon. Zimbabwe's Kelis Ndhlovu was named player of the tournament.
