From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mozambican Cricket Association sent teams to Eswatini in July 2022 to play six men's Twenty20 International (T20I) and six Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.[1] These were the first official T20I and WT20I matches to be played in Eswatini.[2] The men's series was played at Malkerns Country Club Oval in Malkerns, with Mozambique winning 6–0 against a new-look Eswatini side.[3] The women's series was played at Enjabulweni Cricket Ground in Manzini and was also won 6–0 by the tourists.[4]
