Mali v Rwanda - Local Time to be determined
Winners of four of the last five editions of the tournament, Mali faced little adversity in the Group Phase to make it to the Last Eight. Except for their 51-43 win over Angola in Group B opener, the Western Africans demolished their opponents by large winning-margins, beating Zambia (136-13) before cruising to a 97-61 win over Morocco.
As a relatively more competitive team compared to most of their previous opponents, Rwanda presents a new challenge for Mali, although the Malians remain favorite.
Egypt v Nigeria - Local Time to be determined
Undefeated in the Group Phase with a 3-0 mark, Egypt must come up a plan to beat Nigeria for the second time in a row. The Pharaohs edged Nigeria 72-60 in their first meeting in Pretoria last week.
Tunisia v Uganda - Local Time to be determined
One of the three undefeated teams in the tournament - alongside Mali and Egypt -, Tunisia faced a huge adversity to beat Rwanda (74-71) in their Group Phase meeting. Now, taking on Rwanda's neighbours and regional rivals Uganda comes as their biggest challenge.
Cameroon v Angola - Local Time to be determined
This is a MUST-WATCH encounter. Although Cameroon are making their debut in the competition, their competitiveness spirit makes them look a regular contender, and finishing second in Group A behind Tunisia says a lot about this Central African team. Both Angola and Cameroon finished 2-1 in the Group Phase.
