Uganda has defeated Ghana by a handsome margin of 36 runs in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-M-Low-c41214 scoring game of the ICC Africa Region Division One Twenty20 competition, held at Lugogo Stadium, Kampala on Tuesday, July 12, 2011.
It was a crucial contest for both sides as the two teams were looking to clinch a victory to step up on the points table. Luck favoured http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Uganda-c3031 at the start as the skipper, Davis Arinaitwe, opted to bat first after winning the toss.
The decision was justified by the two openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Griffith-c919 one but a beautiful
delivery by Vincent Ateak made his way to the wicket-keeper who took the bails off within a blink.
Ateak provided his side with the second breakthrough in the 10th over when he showed Kyobe the way back to the tent. The 22-year-old left-hander got out after adding 24 runs to the total and after his departure, no Uganda batsman except Frank
Nsubuga could manage to reach double figures.
Running the show single-handedly, Nsubuga smashed a blistering unbeaten knock of 48 runs, taking his side to decent score of 119 for the loss of seven wickets after 20 overs.
From Ghana bowling attack, the slow bowlers led the party, sharing all seven wickets among each other. While Ateak and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Obed-Harvey-c80131 also managed to claim a scalp.
In reply, the Ghana openers failed to lay a solid foundation to a comprehensive run-chase. The two opening batsmen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Julius-Horlali-Mensah-c69655, walked out of the ground after scoring five and six runs respectively, pushing their side into a disastrous
situation.
Harvey tried his level best to keep things under-control but continuous fall of wickets ruined Ghana’s dream to seal their second win in the championship. Harvey scored an attacking knock of 29 runs while Samon Awiah left the crease after gathering 16 runs
off 42 balls.
Lawrecnce Atrak’s lovely boundary and a mighty six could also not save Ghana side from a humiliating 36-run loss as the whole team collapsed on a paltry 83.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Charles-Waiswa-c50401 returned with outstanding figures of 1/8 in four overs.
