With their regular opening batters, Simon Ssesazi 66 (44) and Roger Mukasa 25(27), Uganda scored 206/6, troubling the bowlers from the middle order till the last ball, as Dinesh Nakrani with 51*(22), scored a boundary.

In the second innings, Kenya had a slow power play, scoring 27/3. Cosmas Kyewuta (4-0-13 -4), gave legendary batter Collins Obuya an early exit, as he exits as well from playing.

Collins, one of the top batters in the tournament with 126 runs from 4 innings and 3rd on the list has scored 1794 runs from 70 innings in T20i’s.

The wickets kept dropping with great limitation from Uganda as Kenya managed 100/9 in 20 overs.

Uganda won by 106 runs and increased their tally of wins to 11, against Kenya after 16 matches played.

Cosmas was adjudged player of the match with his bowling figures as he bounced back strongly from injury to torment batters with the ball while appreciating his teammates for their contribution.

Captain for the day for Uganda, Kenneth Wiaswa says, they brought on a positive mindset and improved batting performance.

The cricket cranes ensured they did what the ladies could not do, 10 days ago, losing to the female yellow greens in the 3rd place play-off.

History is written, however, as Cricket was first introduced into the African Games in Accra.
