• Game 1: Uganda XI v MCC Jinja
• Toss: MCC won the toss and elected to bat 1st.

Match Summary

• MCC 101 all out 37.3/50 overs
• Uganda XI 104/4 19.2/50 overs
• Uganda XI won by 6 wickets

Uganda Cricket Cranes select team defeated MCC in an international game that was played at the newly constructed Jinja Cricket Oval.

Led by captain Brian Masaba bowled first after the visitors won the toss and elected to bat first.

The hosts never let them get away with Riazat Ali Shah (2/16) getting in the early inroads but it was the left arm spin of Alpesh Ramjani (4/17) and Henry Ssenyondo (4/15) that put MCC to the sword.

MCC posted a paltry 101 all out inside 37 overs and in the chase, Roger Mukasa and Simon Ssesazi had an opening stand of 45.

3 wickets thereafter fell in quick succession with Brian Masaba at one drop falling for zero.

Alpesh Ramjani (33) and Riazat Ali Shah steadied the ship even with the latter falling late in the innings, MCC suffering a 6 wicket loss.

The MCC will stay in Jinja for one more day of their trip as they will hold a cricket coaching session at Jinja SSS tomorrow before returning to Kampala.

Their next game will be on Saturday against the U-19 boys in Entebbe.
