The Itanda Kayakers and Karuma Rapids played out an interesting game in the afternoon that kept fans on the edge of their seats on Day 3 of the Women’s Elite League.
The last ball drama saw Itanda clinch the win dramatically.
Kayakers needed five runs off the final six balls, but when their anchor Immaculate Nakisuyi departed off the first ball of the final over, the game swung in favour of Karuma Rapids.
However, with three runs required off the final ball, the Itanda batters scrambled to pick up two runs, and instead of a super over, Itanda was declared the winner of the game because there was an error at the scoreboard.
The loss virtually knocks out Karuma Rapids, who are yet to win a game, in the race to make the final on Sunday evening and keeps the Itanda Kayakers in second spot.
In the morning game of Matchday 3, Stephanie Nampiina (62) led her team from the front with a well-crafted half-century and her partnership with Asumin Akurut (36) helped the Bujjagali Rafters post a commanding 126/7 in their 20 overs.
Proscovia Alako (47) offered the resistance for her side, but it wasn’t enough to stop Bujjagali Rafters from picking up their third win of the tournament to claim top spot.
The teams take a break on Friday, and action will resume on Saturday before concluding on Sunday.
