A devastating spell of hitting from Gerald Orumo (80 off 27 balls) condemned Mwiri to a 143 run defeat to bitter rivals Buddo in a Division 3 battle.
Given that Pirates had given away a walkover in Entebbe to Avengers both teams needed this win to stay in the race for promotion to Division 2.
Gerald Orumo just took the game away from Mwiri who were in contest before his arrival, Buddo scored a huge 277 in their 40 Overs with Jonathan Kiiza (35) supporting Gerald.
In the chase, Mwiri was given a chance after a devastating spell of seam bowling from Sitenda Amos (6/23) left Mwiri railing at 20/6, Joel Epiange (75) was the only batsman for Mwiri who managed double figures helping them finish at 131 all out in 27 overs.
The win keeps Buddo in the race for promotion with the division completely open after Pirates the run away leaders didn’t have enough uniforms for their team.
At Lugogo, Charity picked up their first win of the season defeating Nile by 6 wickets. David Musoke (45) and Abu Sseguya (38) helped Nile post a modest 160. U19 left arm slow bowler Stephen Wambose (6/19) was pick of the bowlers for Charity. In reply Charity only lost 4 wickets with Varinder Singh (51 not out) and Simon Ssesazi (35) knocking off the deficit.
At Kyambogo, the return of regular skipper Hanumat Katkar couldn’t save KICC from going down to Kutchi Tigers by 8 wickets. Kutchi Tigers had the services of Kenya’s vice captain Shem Obado (3/23) to count on and only Davis Karashani (32) and Suleiman Sharif (19) made worthy contributions. Kutchi easily dealt with the deficit losing only 2 wickets in the chase with Nanji Phindoriya (52 n.o) carrying his bat.
This loss means KICC is flirting with relegation and they will need to get their house in order in the second to able to contend for the league trophy.
