From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2019 T20 Kwacha Cup was a men's Twenty20 International/women's Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket event between the men's and women's national cricket teams of Malawi and Mozambique. Both the men's and women's series consisted of seven T20I matches played between 6 and 10 November 2019 in Blantyre and Lilongwe, Malawi.[1][2] The venue for the first four men's T20I matches was the Lilongwe Golf Club in Lilongwe, and these were followed by two matches at Indian Sports Club and one match at Saint Andrews International High School in Blantyre.[1][3] All of the women's T20I matches were played at Saint Andrews International High School.[2][4] Malawi won the men's series 5–1, and the women's series 4–3.[5][6]
