The young duo of Ruth Mwanga (42) and Gabriella Divine Nyamer (24) came together when the Bujjagali Trekkers were at 47/6, but their 70-run partnership rescued the game for Bujjagali, who clinched the game off the final ball of the game.
The young duo showed a lot of maturity in the run chase, taking 20 runs off the last two overs and finding three runs off the final ball.
The Bujjagali Rafters inflicted the first defeat on the Itanda Kayakers on their double header day, a trend that was started by the Bujjagali Rafters yesterday.
In the morning, Itanda Kayakers won by eight wickets against the Karuma Rapids. In the short eight-over game, Janet Mbabazi led from the front, chasing down 68 runs inside 6.3 overs and bringing up their second win of the tournament.
On Matchday One, Bujjagali Rafters had the double header, and they claimed a win against Karuma Rapids but failed to get past the Itanda Kayakers.
Kevin Awino scored the only half-century of the tournament thus far, helping the Bujjagali Rafters beat the Karuma Rapids. She scored a very composed 51 from 43 balls, which anchored the run chase for the Bujjagali Rafters, picking up their 1st win.
Karuma Rapids are the only side yet to win a game, and they will be hoping for good fortune on their Match Day three, which is their double-header day.
The mix of young players and the experienced Victoria Pearls has given the young players a great learning platform to test themselves against better players.
The results are already starting to show on Matchday Two with brilliant performances from Ruth Mwanga and Nyamer Devine.
