The 2022 East Africa T20 Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament, that took place in Rwanda in December 2022.[1] The venue for the series was the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium in Kigali.[2] The participating teams were originally planned to be the hosts Rwanda along with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda,[3] with the tournament to be played as a triple round-robin.[4] However, Kenya withdrew shortly before the tournament, and the format was changed so that each team would play each other six times in a round-robin. Uganda won the tournament after defeating Tanzania on the penultimate day of the event.[5][6] Overall, out of 12 matches for each side, Uganda won nine matches and Tanzania six; Rwanda's solitary win came in a rain-shortened match against Tanzania.
