2nd T20i Match: Uganda V Bahrain

  • Bahrain 89 all out
  • Uganda 93/2
  • Uganda won by 8 wickets

The Cricket Cranes bounced back from their 1st T20i loss to visitors Bahrain with a commanding performance in the second T20i game, winning by 8 wickets.

The visitors won the toss and elected to bat first but Cosmas Kyewuta (3/12) and Juma Miyagi (3/18) were ruthless with the ball.

Bahrain was reduced to 4/11 inside 3.3 overs and only a lone hand from captain Haider Ali (54) helped his side get to 89 in their 20 overs as the Cricket Cranes never allowed the visitors to settle with some disciplined bowling that never released the pressure.

In the run chase, Robinson Obuya (28) and Raghav Dhawan (21) continued to develop a relationship at the top of the order as they put on 32 for the first wicket.

Shrideep Mangela (36) had a measured knock that took Uganda close to victory with Dinesh Nakrani and Robinson Obuya knocking off the deficit.
