The historic achievement came after Rwanda defeated Sierra Leone by 51 runs in the final.

Rwanda batted first and posted a total of 135 runs in 20 overs, with Sierra Leone managing to take seven wickets. In response, Sierra Leone was bowled out for just 84 runs in 18.1 overs, falling short of the target and handing Rwanda a commanding victory.

The eight teams will face off in September 2025 in Namibia during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier.

Only one team will earn a coveted spot to represent the continent at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, set to take place in India later this year.
