In the UCA Men’s 50 Over League this Sunday, struggling Wanderers head to Kamengo hoping to break their winless streak against a Ceylon Lions side also smarting from a recent defeat.
Ceylon lost to Rounders in their last game, while Wanderers are still chasing their first victory of the campaign.
This matchup renews a growing rivalry.
The sides last met in the semifinals of the 2024 Uganda National T20 League (UGT20), where Wanderers successfully chased 136/8 with 13 balls to spare, sealing a four-wicket win at Entebbe Cricket oval.
Earlier that year, on March 4 at Lugogo, Wanderers posted a commanding 209/6 and bowled out Ceylon for 130/9 to win by 79 runs—despite a half-century from Charles Mushemeza.
Their second-round clash in last year’s 50-over league was washed out.
Heading into Matchday 7, Ceylon Lions sit third on the table with two wins, one draw, and a loss from four matches.
Wanderers, however, are at the foot of the standings with just one tie and three defeats.
While form clearly favours Ceylon, both sides are under pressure to steady their seasons—and Sunday’s clash could prove a turning point.
Wanderers will take heart from their past success in this fixture.
In the 2022 National 50 Over League at the same oval as it hosted its inaugural match, they bowled out Ceylon for just 47 and cruised to a five-wicket win, showcasing the potential they’ve struggled to recapture since.
Sunday promises a high-stakes spectacle across both divisions of the 2025 UCA National Men’s 50 Over League.
In Division One, all eyes will be on the top-of-the-table showdown between unbeaten sides Kutchi Tigers and JACC at Jinja SS Oval.
With just one point separating them, and JACC enjoying home advantage, this clash could shake up the title race.
Elsewhere, Tornado Bee meet Avengers in a critical relegation fight, with both sides looking to build on recent morale-boosting wins.
In Division Two, debutants Mukono Development and Premier face off in a must-win contest, while Tornado finally opens its campaign against a confident Ismaili Community side after forfeiting their first two matches.
With playoff hopes, pride, and survival all on the line, Matchday 7 is set to deliver defining moments across Uganda’s cricketing landscape.
