Namibia won by 5 wickets
Namibia Eagles defeated the Cricket Cranes in a warm-up game for the T20 Men’s World Cup in the West Indies.
Uganda won the toss and chose to bat first. Both teams could use all 15 squad players in this warm-up match.
Simon Ssesazi’s late arrival led to Robinson Obuya opening with Ronak Patel.
Obuya scored 38 runs aggressively despite Ronak Patel and Alpesh Ramjani falling cheaply.
Roger Mukasa hit a well-made 51, but the middle order faltered. Uganda set a modest total of 134/8 in their 20 overs.
Uganda bowled with purpose during Namibia’s chase, pushing the game to the 18th over. However, they lacked enough runs to secure victory. Cosmas Kyewuta (1/13) and Henry Ssenyondo (2/14) excelled with the ball.
Head coach Abhay Sharma was pleased with his team’s effort, especially the top-order runs. A stronger middle order could have changed the outcome.
Uganda will face Scotland in their next warm-up game on Thursday.
