Geoffrey Kakaire stole the spotlight once again, delivering a brilliant second half-century of the tournament.
The game unfolded with drama, flair, and sheer dominance, keeping spectators on the edge of their seats and showcasing why the Batball X tournament is quickly becoming a must-watch event.
Kakaire, the Bulls’ captain, once again reminded everyone why he is the heartbeat of his team.
Following his unbeaten 51 against the Rhinos yesterday, Kakaire turned in a second consecutive half-century, crafting a commanding 58 off just 39 balls, adorned with three crisp fours and three towering sixes.
From the first over, his timing was sublime, his footwork precise, and his confidence unshakable, setting the tone for the Bulls’ innings.
Beside him, Dan Keith Amani provided a steady foil, contributing a measured 31 off 21 balls, but it was Kakaire’s stroke play that drew the gasps and applause.
His innings carried the Bulls to a formidable 97 without loss in the allotted 10 overs, a total that reflected both strategic patience and explosive power.
As always, the scoreboard told only half the story—the real magic was in Kakaire’s ability to lead from the front, to calm nerves, and to inspire his teammates with every deft touch of the bat.
When the Bulls’ bowlers took the field, the momentum never faltered. They restricted the Rhinos at every turn, ultimately sealing a comfortable 24-run victory.
Kakaire’s brilliant form—top-scoring in back-to-back games—now made him the tournament’s leading run-scorer, with 127 runs at a strike rate of 133.56.
In Jinja, the Bulls roared, and at the center of it all, Kakaire roared loudest.
Meanwhile, the Leopards were asserting their dominance.
They edged the dismantled the Rhinos in a clinical nine-wicket chase then Elephants by nine runs in a tense low-scoring thriller.
Discipline, sharp bowling, and confident batting saw them end Day 2 unbeaten, their fourth straight victory placing them atop the table with a perfect record and an imposing net run rate.
Behind them, the Bulls climbed to second, buoyed by Kakaire’s heroics, while the Elephants and Rhinos struggled for consistency despite glimpses of resilience.

Later, the Rhinos and Elephants will seek to steady their campaigns, followed by a test of stamina as the Bulls take on the unpredictable Elephants.
