Prosscovia Alako (116) and Rita Musamali (103 not out) put on 227 runs for the second wicket for Uganda Women against Mali Women in a Kwibuka Women’s Twenty20 Tournament match at Gahanga International Cricket Stadium in Kigali City, Rwanda, on 20 June 2019. The pair set up Uganda’s total of 314 for 2 – the highest team score in a men’s or women’s Twenty20 International.

The 227-run stand beat Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine’s 182-run first-wicket partnership for New Zealand Women, set exactly a year earlier on 20 June 2018. This was beaten by Fatuma Kibasu and Neema Pius, who racked up 183 runs for the first wicket for Tanzania Women, playing against Mali Women, at the Kwibuka tournament on 22 June 2019.

Opener Alako’s 71-ball 116 featured 15 fours. She was run out off the penultimate ball of the innings. Uganda captain Musamali’s 61-ball 103 not out also featured 15 fours.

Mali Women were bowled out for 10 runs (in 11.1 overs) in reply. The margin of victory – 304 runs – was a record for a men’s or women’s Twenty20 International.
