Kyoga Avengers won the toss and elected to bowl first. Charles Mushemeza (75) and Fahad Mutagana (37) put on an opening stand of 82 that laid a great foundation for Mburo Blasters with the returning Riazat Ali Shah (54) notching up his second half-century of the tournament to help his side finish on a commanding 234/6 in their quota of 20 overs.
In reply, Cyrus Kakuru (77) anchored the run chase from the start, taking the attack to the bowling of Mburo Blasters, but the regular loss of wickets kept them behind, and only some rear guard resistance from Captain Juma Miyaji (45) kept the game alive.
Mburo Blasters picked up their fourth win of the tournament and are only two points behind table leaders Kyoga Avengers.
In the afternoon, Victoria Strikers put on their highest score of the tournament in a team effort that saw them pile on 218 runs. It could have been more if it wasn’t for the loss of wickets in the middle.
Simon Ssesazi (54) was outstanding with the bat, while Ahurra Amos (40) and Matthew Musinguzi (22) also made handy contributions.
In reply, the destructive Robinson Obuya (15) and Anas Baig (30) threw the kitchen sink at the bowling of Victoria Strikers, but their high-risk game saw the loss of Obuya, and that turned the game in favour of Victoria Strikers.
