Wanderers CC won a low-scoring ‘nail-biter’ against Patidar at Entebbe Cricket Ground. Patidar won the toss and elected to, bat a decision that they would probably live to regret.

An innings that saw only a single batsman surpass single figures and 22 extras. Muhammed Shaff did the magic with his fast bowling and had one of the best league figures in recent times of 9-2-27-7 to restrict the opponents to a paltry 62.

The chase seemed it would be a walk in the park for the Wanderers but wickets fell constantly. The Wanderers’ ninth wicket ensured victory by 2 wickets, a result both teams left to wonder what was happening. 

Tornado Bees lost their second league game to Nyakasura CC by four wickets. Jeremy Kibukamusoke won the toss and opted to set a target score for the day. Tornado Bees were able to score of 150/10 in 28.2 overs, Anas Baig falling short of a half century by 3 runs.

The damage was done by the day’s skipper Innocent Mwebaze and Joseph Baguma who each claimed three wickets. Despite losing two early wickets into the chase, Nyakasura duo Fortunate Alijuna 60(42) and Matthew Musisnguzi 34(33) formed a 55-run partnership which steered their team into victory. Nyakasura tops the Premier League Division after each team has played two matches.

Rounders CC handed two league defeats to Premier CC in the T-20 format at Buddo Ground. The latter lost the morning game by 34 runs (D/L). Narinder Singh bagged the man of match award with his batting performance of 50(43). Premier lost the afternoon game by 3 wickets after setting a target of 93 runs.
