At the lakeside oval in Entebbe, Wanderers won a nail bitter against Avengers managing to hold on and win by one wicket.
Avengers inflicted the defeat of the season on Wanderers in Jinja when they beat them by 3 runs, and Wanderers clearly came into the game with only revenge on their mind as the game had no significant importance to either side.
On a very poor wicket, Avengers batted first and scored just 106 runs which on a poor batting wicket was as much as 200 runs.
Wanderers pocked slowly at the total as Avengers kept breaking important partnerships and dragged the game till the last wicket of Walaza Zulu and Norbert Abii closed out the nervous win.
Wanderers managed to just hold on and pick the win in an underwhelming season for the former league winners.
