“Kira requested to change the venue due to security concerns at their home ground & lack of resources to host the match at Namboole,” said Wasike.
Vipers are targeting triumph in the competition for only the second time in their history despite playing in three finals.
Last season, they were eliminated at the quarter finalists by eventual finalists Paidha Black Angels at Kitende.
