Chasing 224 after Kenya were bowled out in 45.3 overs, Uganda were never in trouble on their way to victory with 6.3 overs to play. Derrick Bakunzi (49) and Arthur Kyobe (43) played key roles in Uganda’s chase with brilliant contributions with the bat, thwarting threats that were occasionally posed by Kenyans. The run-rate favoured Ugandans throughout the chase and even the loss of wickets did little to dent their momentum. From 68 for 0 after eight overs, Uganda were suddenly on 73 for 3 when debutant Lloyd Paternott was trapped lbw for a duck. But with Emmanuel still in the middle, Uganda were hardly troubled in scoring runs as they did that with 39 balls to play.
