Match 3: Uganda v Rwanda Match Summary: Uganda 168/9 Rwanda 35/9 Uganda won by 133 runs Match 4: Uganda v Tanzania Uganda 169/9 Tanzania 156/9 Uganda won by 13 runs Roger Mukasa was the star of the show as Cricket Cranes claimed a close 13-run win over Tanzania in their second game of Thursday. 89 from 62 balls, a knock that included 13 fours and two maximums was a delight to watch from Mukasa that has been desperate for a big knock. Mukasa had fallen out of favor and a quick return to the side for the Global T20 Qualifiers in Zimbabwe in July never helped his cause. He fell in the final over of the innings but his anchoring helped Uganda get to 169/9 after he batted with nearly everyone. Tanzania pushed Uganda in the afternoon encounter especially after Ivan Suleiman decided to take on the quick bowlers Cosmas Kyewuta and Juma Miyagi. Tanzania reached a point with 49 required from 18 balls and took matters into their hands, in the end, running out of resources with 13 runs still required. In the morning game, Uganda crawled to 168/9 in their 20 overs, with no real stand-out contributions with the bat apart from Simon Ssesazi (35) and Pascal Murungi (22) plus a late cameo from Bilal Hassun (20) got them to a good total.
