RWN vs GHA 3rd T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Rwanda will take on Ghana in the 3rd of 5 T20 internationals at the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. The two nations would be looking forward to making the best use of this opportunity to return to international cricket with aplomb. Find out the best Ghana tour of Rwanda betting tips arising from my RWA vs GHA match prediction down below.

Just two matches in, one of the greatest stories has already been scripted in Rwanda’s young cricketing history.

After years of humanitarian problems where the country was ravaged and tattered to bits, the country has been taking great steps of late to stand back on its own two feet. The game of cricket has been their one such respite to bring back entertainment and opportunities to the common people. It has been far from easy, with no infrastructure or trained pool of players.

Undeterred, they kept working hard towards their goal, attracting some of the biggest names in the sport through their legacy. After setting a world record for the longest net training session to raise funds along with generous contributions from the likes of Brian Lara, Heather Knight and David Cameron, Rwanda finally managed to achieve their long-existing dream of having an international cricket stadium on their soil.

Now, their players have made history by winning the country’s first-ever full T20 international match against a much stronger Ghana side. The win would have instilled in them great self-confidence to achieve even greater heights. Thus, no matter how the series ends from here, this momentous occasion shall forever be honoured in African cricket. On that note, here are my top betting tips from the RWA vs GHA match prediction.

RWN vs GHA Team Bet:

Considering the obscure nature of the series, very few websites will be offering bets on the Ghana tour of Rwanda. Even so, the winner's bet is a highly viable option available for you from the RWA vs GHA match prediction.

Ghana to maintain the edge

Despite a shock loss in the series opener, Ghana has retained their status as the favourites to walk away as the winners at the end of the five matches.

An appropriate metric to compare their performances and quality of talent would be to analyse a competition they both took part in. Both Rwanda and Ghana had accepted the invitation to play the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers. While the host competed in the Eastern sub-region, Ghana plied their trade in the North-Western sub-region.

Rwanda ended up losing all of its six matches and in a rather poor manner. It ended the tournament with a negative net run rate of 4.887, almost four and a half points worse than the team above them. Incidentally, that was the last occasion Rwanda played an international cricket match ahead of the ongoing series, with their final fixture played on July 14, 2018, when they took on Tanzania.

Ghana, on the other hand, performed remarkably well to rack up five victories and a no result from their six encounters. They thus qualified to the next round whilst being unbeaten. With ICC granting official status to all T20Is played from January 2019 onwards, this gave Ghana a chance to make their full debut in the ensuing regional finals. Even though they failed to win any games, the team gave tough fights to African cricketing giants such as Kenya and Namibia, earning valuable experience in the process.

The international ratings provide another objective metric to compare the two teams by weighing them on the same scale. Rwanda’s highest-ever ranking in the T20I charts is 75th, where they are placed currently. Ghana on the other hand was placed almost fifty spots higher when they last competed in international cricket, placing an impressive 28th in May 2019.

Coming to the first two games of the series, while the score remains equal, Ghana performed a little bit better as a unit. For instance, as many as three of their bowlers scalped at least four wickets, a feat achieved only by K Irakoze for Rwanda. Derivatively, four Ghanain players kept their bowling averages to below 20, another statistic only replicated by Irakoze for the hosts.

As inspiring as Rwanda’s victory in their first-ever T20I was, Ghana is expected to come better mentally prepared for the upcoming fixtures. At the end of the day, they are the more experienced and stronger team as previously established and should be able to see the match through with a victory. Consequently, I pick them to run away with the match in today’s RWA vs GHA match prediction. Make full use of the tip by taking up Dafabet’s amazing odds of 1.75 on Ghana winning the upcoming match.
