Uganda 213/1 in 20 overs (Kevin Awino 95*, Gloria Abukor 72) beat Germany 46 all out in 18.5 overs (Asmita Kohli 9; Sarah Akiteng 4/3, Consylate Awekonimumgu 3/5) by 167 runs

Kevin Awino and Sarah Akiteng were rulers supreme as they guided Uganda's national cricket team to their highest total T20 victory in the 2022 Kwibuka Women's tournament in Kigali.

Kevin scored a personal best 95 runs off 61 balls to cap herself as Uganda's most run scorer in the last decade.

Germany’s captain Christina Gough won the toss and opted to bowl against Uganda at the IPRC Cricket Oval.

Openers Kevin Gloria Abukor made Gough question her decision as the pair added mammoth 165 runs before Germany could make a breakthrough.

Abukor scored 72 runs off just 51 balls as Uganda went past 200 runs for the first time in this edition of Kwibuka T20.

Chasing this total was an uphill task for Germany and it got even harder with Janet Ronalds and Gough departing inside the powerplay.

None of the German batters amassed double digits as Consylate Aweko and Sarah Akiteng took seven wickets between them while conceding just eight runs.

Uganda bowled Germany out for 46 and won the match by whopping 167 runs.
