In response, Malawi were restricted to 61 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
Amusa, who had previously been named Player of the Match in two consecutive games, once again impressed with the ball, returning figures of 4-0-18-4 to dismantle Malawi’s batting order.
Her efforts earned her a third Player of the Match award as Nigeria recorded their fourth win in seven matches.
Nigeria will face the Ugandan women’s team on Wednesday.
Nine teams are participating in the tournament, which is held in honour of the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
