Victoria Series: Game 4 Result
- Uganda 113/4
- Canada 70/9
- Uganda won by 43 runs
Uganda’s Victoria Pearls dominated Canada in the fourth game of their five-match series to take a four-nil lead.
The visitors had shown great improvement since the first game against Uganda and the hope was that they would grow into the tournament and continue to challenge the hosts.
Uganda won the toss and, for once, decided to bat first. The top didn’t hold for long with the top four wickets only contributing 50 runs.
However, a 63-run partnership between Rita Musamali (46 not out) and Proscovia Alako (31 not out) helped the hosts post a challenging total of 113/4 in their 20 overs.
In the run chase, Canada were their own enemies with some careless running between the wickets that pegged them back.
Kevin Amuge has been tormentor in chief and she picked a wicket on the third ball of the game to leave Canada railing at 6/3.
Uganda kept the pressure on and the visitors failed to recover from 32/5 and only some rare guard resistance helped them get to 70/9 in their 20 overs.
The wickets were shared by Immaculate Nakisuyi (2/6), Kevin Amuge (2/12), Consy Aweko (1/9) and Sarah Tino (1/19).
The Victoria Pearls picked up a fourth victory in the series, and they will be eyeing a clean sweep in the final game.
