Immaculate Nakisuyi and Proscovia Alako formed a formidable partnership, leading Uganda to an emphatic victory against the in-form Zimbabwe A team.

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Uganda capitalized on their decision with a strong start.

Nakisuyi scored a brisk 52 off 42 balls, while Alako impressed with 62 off 41 balls.

Their efforts propelled Uganda to a formidable total of 165/2 in 20 overs.

Zimbabwe A’s bowlers, Kelis Ndhlovu and Michelle Mavunga, managed to take a wicket each but could not stem the flow of runs.

In response, Zimbabwe A struggled to build momentum and were bowled out for a mere 90 in 15.2 overs.

Uganda’s bowling attack was spearheaded by Sarah Walaza, who claimed 3 wickets. She was well supported by Timong Patricia and Immaculate Nandera, each taking two wickets.

Uganda secured a comprehensive 75-run victory to remain unbeaten in the tournament.

This win places Uganda in second position in the tournament standings, trailing only behind Rwanda due to net-runrate.

As the tournament progresses, all teams will take a rest day tomorrow, except for Nigeria and Kenya, who are set to face each other in the morning.
