A late blitz from Alpesh Ramjani (32) pushed the Cricket Cranes to the highest score of the tournament of 192.
In the chase, Rwanda failed to mount a challenge in the face of a big total. Alpesh Ramjani (3/20), Nsubuga Siraje (3/29) and Kenneth Waiswa (2/10) were among the wickets as the Cricket Cranes picked up a fourth win of the tournament in the searing heat by 86 runs.
In the afternoon, Roger Mukasa fell on the 1st ball of the match but his opening batting partner Simon Ssesazi (60) found his form and got a great partner in Kenneth Waiswa (68) as the Cricket Cranes recovered from a terrible start to post a competitive 171.
Kenneth Waiswa (3/19) returned with the ball to inflict damage on Tanzania and he got support from Bilal Hassun (3/21) and Jonathan Sebanja (2/12) as the Cricket Cranes picked up their fifth win of the tournament.
