Uganda Cricket Cranes’ T20 matches against the Sri Lanka Development Team, were tough battles, ultimately falling short in both encounters.
In the 3rd T20 match, Uganda posted a total of 165/6, with notable contributions from Simon Ssesazi (70) and Roger Mukasa (38).
However, their efforts were not enough to deter the Sri Lankan side, who chased down the target with relative ease, finishing at 168/3.
Similarly, in the 4th T20 match, Uganda managed to reach 137/9, thanks to performances from Riazat Ali Shah (39), Roger Mukasa (35), and Dinesh Nakrani (22).
Despite an early breakthrough by Juma Miyagi, Sri Lanka Development sealed victory with 4 balls to spare, ending at 140/3.
Despite the losses, there were several positives for the Cricket Cranes.
The team showed improvement in their batting performance, with good strike rates from the batters.
Roger Mukasa displayed good form but needs to convert his starts into big scores.
Additionally, Miyagi’s consistent performance without any setbacks is encouraging for the technical team.
The return of Riazat Ali Shah added depth to the squad, allowing him valuable game time against quality opposition.
With three more games remaining on the training tour to Sri Lanka, the Uganda Cricket Cranes aim to build on their learnings and finish the tour on a positive note.
