Cricket in Africa in this tournament swinger misses Inside Edge unlucky Kofi that will race away for another boundary making this and indeed a big over for starters couldn’t get that one of the square bringing the bowler into play another Dot from that one it’s 12 already and the last ball of the

Cricket he’s been around long enough knows his business filled with potentials hopefully he delivers for Ghana today but nothing is going to be easy here and it’s Roger that will be taking this delivery this run floring for Uganda Roger ensuring to roted strike is sensible and experienced cricketer as Simon
Sesi brilliant shot looking to find a Gap a brilliant piece of Fielding there another single that one misses everything but keeper the needed dot ball gfred he’s going to work extremely hard to give Ghana some life today they know it they lost to South Africa and they are here trying to
Redeem that image against Uganda no ball it is clearly disappointment from gri Fright is the signal umpire Isaac some are experienced enough they been around long enough you go to watch your marks Bowers it’s a freid this keeper have one thing to know no value from that one St to the Feer at
Covers Roger couldn’t put that one away brilliant balling by gford another dot ball Roger still trying to F get going eight of nine deliveries Simon on 504 the last ball of the over and that’s the end of the second over it’s 15 for no loss Kofi babina back on the attack from the
School end of this ground and it’s Simon will be facing him beautiful shot through mid off Feud that comes around that one just a single Professor again strolling through that one one of the finest batters from Uganda did well enough in the qualifier to get them through to the World
Cup we’ll be watching them live representing Africa alongside Namibia South Africa we expected some rains the cloud are hovering over but hopefully it manages to blow over brilliant shot great feuding Applause from around the boundary rops fans here supporting their home team Ghana against a walk up bound Ugandan
Squad is Kofi gab gabina pumped up this flicked away cofy Bak him the feuder there just ensuring is just a single brilliant shot Grace sweetly towards long off he’s having an easy day here Simon no need for The Rush doing just fine 6.35 power over presently on the back football straight to the
Field backward of Point another good over for Ghana just three from it and it’s 18 for no loss after the third over current run rate is six runs and over Uganda quietly climbing e it’s gy who continues from the golf club end he will be looking to slow things
Down oh there you go it’s bowling change and is Le in yako slower delivery that one didn’t come through starting with a DOT beautiful shot this time pierces the gap between cover and extra covers the chase is on but would go all the way the much needed boundary Simon CEI the professor
Himself who moves to 11 from a delivery after that shot that’s the delivery just full driving it on the up through the covers just wasn’t quick enough and it’s Uganda who will take that boundary another one this time PS is the mid on field a quick one to the boundary what a
Shot the CRM LM by Simon the quiet Professor the quiet surgeon goes about his business quietly it’s two boundaries in consecutive bows and it’s eight runs already from three deliveries there you have the shot again gracing through and going away from the mid on feuda Big Shot
Pops some bad on that one a single from it more runs here for Uganda it’s nine from that over already two balls to spare not good news for Cricket here the clouds are overing around hopefully it’s a loud some play it’s going to slow things down
Here he goes big this time did they find a gap the feuder comes in from the Dip is the captain run out opportunity made his ground quick enough roer mukasa and Simon s brilliant running between wickets finding that big gap Captain OB couldn’t pick that one and go umpire
Isaac in a good position to make the right call that’s the end of the fourth over and it’s 29 for no loss e Kofi would continue bowling his third over looks to go big this time is’s a wide Sarah confident about that one just getting confirmation from the scorer yes it
Is more wide coffee contributing to those that tally we still have to Bo six legal deliveries in the air into the Gap that will raise all the way for the needed boundary is Simon hi more runs for Uganda here and to join me in the coms box my dear
Friend the man you head at the middle earlier the big gu from East Africa we share so many things his innocent Ina the Fuller delivery flip way of his part towards midwicket region for the much needed boundary the two guys batting out there the leading run scorers for Uganda
In T20 eyes Simon C with 1,99 runs you guys have a small simple name for him the professor as you see there some raow runs being leaked by the Ghana fielders Fielder steps out of the boundary it’s four runs that’s a shocker nobody feels like that in the world disappointment no awareness whatsoever
It’s 10 runs already from this over really really disappointing here Kofi babina must be disappointed with the Fielder here you go into the gaps and the chase was on he picked up and he steps out what was that for let the boo match awareness shocking it’s a huge crowd hovering over
Here I don’t think Ghana want to share SPS with Uganda and neither does Uganda want but Uganda will make sure they have five overs in and then they can pray that the rain will go away coffee into his third over here Simon cesi playing sensibly to today he was in
A bit of a rush yesterday the leading run scorer for Uganda a man who will remember covid for the rest of his life because as it had so many people all over the world his carer got a Rance he worked so hard in the Nets put his hand up and he got back
Into the selection of the playing 11 for Uganda after years in the wilderness the man you call the professor in Nigeria Simon there and roer mukasa former Captain the most loved cricketer in Uganda Roger getting to a th000 runs yesterday saided today’s match with 1,56 runs two of them in arra in that
Class the other third player with a th runs not in the building rat Alisha he’s got 1,212 runs the true around of Uganda and the man who has Captain this side whenever Brad Mar masava is out three captains for the t20s Uganda does have so no worries Kenneth we Brian Mar and rat
Alisha chance to run run very hard very quickly Roger mukas is electric between the wickets he may be 34 years old but it doesn’t look any of it youa get the 40 up sarava having some W with coffee B B about running through the middle of the
Strip and it’s end of the fifth over it is 40 for no loss and it’s Uganda who is currently on eight runs per over the fourth T20 ey between both teams and it’s Uganda that have dominated the previous three hopefully the weather stays alive for us to have this game
And get a result from it with the winds hovering around clouds it’s Lee yako who continues from the golf club end an expensive F over from him 11 from it let’s hope it ties things up for you for Ghana Uganda keeping it very sensible now there will nothing to about the
Conditions when you play this game is not about ground but brains most of the time you’ve got to play the conditions what are you playing at now Uganda know they don’t need to lose a wicket because once you lose a wicket the resources are less and dwor
Lewis and Stein method will be very harsh on you Roger mukasa happy to play the accumulator today Simon cazi is the aggressor punched back down the ground they wait to run it’s a new Bower in the park for the black stars the home team leako is the new bowler
While I was aare I was happy to see a big crowd coming through for this one a big crowd of the home fans there is a little misfield there but it’s all good the backup is good and you can see that man in your frame OED Harvey the myestro of this gner team
Lanell the captain play some semi-professional Cricket in the Nigerian leagues he has a story to tell he’s living his second life almost lost his life in South Africa a brw accident there for him brilliant shot another dot the FEA at backward off point Simon attic doing well to stop that
One Kenya are playing South Africa and they’re taking the game to the South Africans score is 97 for2 there Kenya batting hitting it straight to the side screen it won’t get to the boundary but Simon is running back for the second home and dry Roger mukasa urging
On the youngster saying come on Simon let’s work hard for the team it’s a left right hand combination at the top of the innings for Uganda who will be going to the World Cup the big danc awaits and they will be in Guyana and trer and Tobago there are the hunted here Uganda
Everybody saying you going to the World Cup show us what you can do of course one team going to the World Cup already Namibia their feathers have been roughed a bit a b of the Eagles but was the Super Eagles that flew high above the ru
Eagles end of the sixth the power play is done here at aimo complex over number B Uganda have 45 without loss it’s Uganda sitting at 7.54 and over 44 from the power play 45 I beg your pardon from the six overs power play all stag is set and they keep
Climbing holding up and hoping the weather stays the rain stays away it is expected anytime soon chance for catch safely not enough but on it and see how they’re running hard Ro mukas are almost they are running out of gas to make it to the fuel
Station his home safe and dry in the end repri for the Ugandan Dugout the O’s and ass in the Ghana Camp perhaps Kofi the first Bower to be balling for over straight that’s a shot for you again he goes big stayed in the air for a bit but
Landed safely throw wasn’t good enough for Kofi to won that one but show continues here s say the professor will get a single Glides through midwicket Captain Obed hav coming into play Left Right Hand combination more troubles for Ghana they will have to break this Partnership if they want anything from this
Game crowd gets a little heavier for my liking that man B to Roger mukasa had hands on that one he takes off the bottom hand in time to make sure it doesn’t carry it OED hary the man in your frame there hovering in the covers tall man can throw his body all
Over the park mukasa stepping down the Wicket he’ll get the boundary Uganda desires he’s been itching to get his boundary column going he got the 50 yesterday he knows in this tournament is a good chance for him to show what he’s been learning when Uganda did to Sanka they were in
G National test stadium and then they were at the ICC hch icwc homex Institute Roger mukasa going again midwicket region does it R away again it’s a half-hearted pull but it will be for it’s another Magic win boundary there cu a couple of sponsors coming through for the big du here the big
Dance for the African games the men’s competition making a debut and what a time it’s been a long time coming but thanks to the international Olympic Committee giving an odd to Cricket as an Olympic sport now you always see that sh again halfhearted but we race away
Because the feud that came around pretty late is Kofi babina brilliant shot this time through midon will come for a couple Simon wanting it unbelievable the f are making a mess of that one is gy bakim who was a corporate on this occasion three consecutive boundaries and guess what that four you
Must give credit to the man who never hit the ball Simoni at the non Striker end because he pushed Roger for the second the Fielder watching the BS instead of concentrating to collect the ball and tipping a throw instead it’s a comedy of errors fbl in the park the
Give boundary and it’s end of the seventh over it’s 60 for no loss current run rate 8.57 is Ghana wasy trying to find that break but it’s been runs and runs and runs innocent the strategy here we must talk about it Bowlers are considering and they kept on it’s Kofi who have gone
For 41 from four overs cof Baba sounds like one of those historic that we did study in West African history back in the day the slave trade that did happen on the Gold Coast in Baba I did get my distinctions in history and I don’t know how you faed
You are a West African I did a bit of history and there’s a big story around that one and that’s why for me it was press to have visited the quam kruma site yes you’re talking about the library or the mum the museum he goes big this time oh my world
What a short just kneels onto that one we call him the professor clearly making a statement here I’m not going to hang around without making you pay is Richmond who suffers this time the first one will go all the way it’s actually a bounce for Richmond balleri knew in the attack
He balls one way down on the fourth stamp on the leg side he’s given the rightful punishment Simon say as he gets bound and then tikos is milking the Spinners here and they run two again six runs in the over you can see Roger mukasa looking around to see any laps of
Concentration in the field and he will be off to run for another you can’t are moving at nine runs every over they are in good zones Good Times some work to do for the black stars the home team ah very good delivery there Simon
Will let it go he won’t like to throw he his but at everything he’s already gotten six in the over why RS controlled aggression just what is required by Uganda batters this time comes back I would Pummel that one through cover region Feer in the Deep ensuring it will just
Be one this time is roer mukasa who on strike on 24 from 22 deliveries and Simon soaring away 37 of 25 Roger masasa playing catch up there with his scoring r 24 from 22 he was lacking lower below the 100% strike rate and you know T20 cricket is about strike rate if your
Strike rate is poor it’s poor roer masasa trying to carry the cover of this one instead he spills it holds on to it it was there for the taking if you take don’t take catches like this one you Ru a Miss chance because Ro masasa is playing into your hands you don’t want
To give players like CR a second chance cuz he will make them pay this is the chance again is SK oh no feel sorry for the Feer there he tumbled and rolled over Godfrey Bak Richmond baller is over has had everything Simon goes another chance for a catch it won’t carry
It’s the end of the over bought by Mr Richmond balleri who very well know canb he goes for nine runs and the score is 69 for no loss the balling change this time the captain himself Obed hav will give himself a chance from the school end of this
Oval just to find that break the required one 68 runs partnership from the 68 63 of the bat and five extras he swps it straight away will he get to the ropes F that comes around yes another boundary Simon the professor races to 43 of 28 deliveries showing the supremacy here
Almost chipped that one onto his thumbs Simon he knows how important every Innings to him nervous 50s they say perhaps but the professor short and cuts away F that comes from the deep will they get a second slop if you in here Ghana really making a mess of this
One and they will get three runs from that seven runs already from two deliveries that man with Jesse number 20 Lee inako on strike is Roger facing OED for the first time Roger goes full face straight to the man at the boundary Roger mukasa signaling to Simon
C Watch the mfield watch the laps in concentration we must wake them up every time they go to bed you can say that again innocent is Uganda having a few day here four do3 and a single Simon Simon goes does it sell all the way for six it’s a beautiful six as
Indicated there by Sarah damb Nana the umire from Zimbabwe big over there by punishment being meted out to OED Harvey that’s the ball again he kneels on that one finds the trees around the Deep mid deep Square leg region it’s 13 already from that over 14 I beg your
Pardon still a ball left to come still the ball left to come like you say I can tell you that it’s 50 up for Simon cesi 52 from 31 deliveries who again have fine cuts that one for four leaking runs OED havy Mr Captain Fantastic for Ghana not his day
Today with the ball he will want to walk around forget this opening over his Bard the over has been very very costly it cost a fortune an arm and a leg 18 runs in that one 80 seven without loss after nine overs Uganda are costing slow Ballers the
Gans course Simon CES as a 27 year old as Roger masasa hits this one over the top chance to run for two they will take one because the fiing is much better now and the pickup is even better some hands there Round of Applause from the fans
Watching they a very well done we need to see more fight from you guys just like this rickmon balleri the baller Simon sesi scoring his 15 half century in T20 years today he’s got a century as well well I’ll tell you innocent he looks it today might be the second one
For him is in a good Notch he’s got 10 ofs left to play must stay there he must show willingness to grind B Larry making it tougher for him to score by taking Pace off the ball that was a brilliant shot of the back foot rocks back and hit that one through mid
Off showing real quality here Simon the way he’s dominated this Innings not sticking around not allowing to Spinners dominate just ensuring that one boundary keeps coming Roger goes big the ball is in the air do they want it Kofi babina comes around it but just drop shot of
Him Ghana needs to perhap have show more intent here if not then we’ll be toiling the whole time running very hard between the weakest the two ugandans this scramble through for a quick single there showing the athleticism and Uganda moving to the ’90s 91 now should there truly be a cooling
Break for this one the weather has been cool and calm windy we just have to try and go through this quickly the best weather you’ll ever want to see problem is the two teams starting to think about the Reigns Richmond balleri finishes second over there he balling very well the pick
Of the Ballers that’s far unfortunately he has no Wicket to his name two overs have gone for 13 there is a cooling break here at the half stage of the first Innings 91 for no loss in 10 overs Uganda who won the toast and elect to B e e e e
Welcome back to business this time it is gy who comes back to the attack and he will be bowling the first delivery after the cooling break to Simoni the professor himself and we are into the last 10 overs misses that one G freid he knows how expensive that could become inside a is
There is gri into his second over inside more runs miss that run out opportunity experience gfri making sure the ugandans Don’t just run away Uganda would like to move quickly on this one hopefully we get a game from here before the ring comes down he goes big this time in the Gap in
The air and that will go one bounce for more runs here to Simon this time is gfred who’s been punished and that was happen when you give a chance you get punished for it more often than not gracing that one through meid off we get a single a sensible batting here by
Simon seven already from that over the last delivery to come he goes big roer mukasa straight to the feuder Rexford bakum and it’s end of the 11th over it is 99 for no loss run R currently at n over Uganda dominating things here he goes big the big man
Roger couldn’t stick around any longer without establishing itself into the threes straight up and it’s Richmond who suffers this Roger mukasa here attempting to hit it into the heavens he gets six runs they must Fetch and collect and bring back into play Ro mukasa trying to go back for the
Second as Uganda reach the three converted figures for no loss 100 is up Simon looking solid he will continue 64 38 brilliant short this time bakum Rexford chases down good teamwork Kofi bab cominging to the rescue it’s a six a single and a double nine from it already with three balls to
Spare it’s just been runs G here at aim big Cricket over he goes big feuda comes around there at midwicket just a single from that one bought very well Richmond B lerry under the circumstances is not giving them in their zones to play they must sweep and they’re stretching so hard to
Sweep back there the frame Uganda Cricket Association chairman in the frame momentarily there alongside the CEO Mr John walusimbi the new CE for Uganda Cricket they’ve had a couple of meetings here with ICC Africa officials of course all the three of them here Patricia karami Justin lingi and kuen
P he goes big this time but is in the air the captain himself the call was no what confusion could that be the captain was under it and the keeper ran straight at him eventually both of them no one going for it that disappointing look by Obed
Hav you look at this again and you wonder what was happening and I tell you you won’t be blaming this keeper here because such a sky it’s always left for the keeper because he’s wearing the gloves I don’t know what the communication was between the two but they look like they’re totally on
Different networks Simon cesas is getting a reprieve Roger mukasa got his own Simon cesas hit that and stayed kneeling down in his CR he could have run three before they collected it but they only get one 111 the score is Nelson for no loss after 12 hours
There’s M spin here to come it’s Alex Jose it’s looking like more Nails on the Cofe eight overs left from this it’s Ghana who are looking dejected here on the field drop this to once H and it’s Simon 68 of 41 and Roger masasa 38 of 33 still buting for
Uganda Ghana have played into uganda’s hands they’re asking Uganda to take them to the cleaners and I tell you Uganda will engage second gear if roer mukasa’s machine and Simon mukasa and Simon Cesar’s machine have run out of gas they will get out and some new guys will come
Through and they will take them to the cleaners if that’s what they want Michael an Nei abaj I beg your pardon not Ani Bing some leg is Simon goes downtown chance for six oh no he parries it out of the park the horror Fielding show continues here
We are living in a world where it is full of comedy and full of errors and it’s not funny innocent that was a massive hit babina could no way could only try that’s the hit again half tracker and he goes big CA does well enough to find the Feer there you have
It his foot were already on the boundary and this time another one say s cats lose Simon on fire is run R here at the aim over B two consecutive 60s Simon sesi the professor everything just going good for him trust me plenty of positive approaches here another half tracker
Knels on that one this time the Feer gets no chance tell you he’s silen the crowd here but you must look back to the feeble and the butter fingers in the field that have given Uganda reprieves here Simon cesas moves into the 8S now on 81 from 45 is it the hovering cloud
Dark Cloud here not the best of light do you conquer all your disagree Mr s you’re the West African you know this weather very well well we’ve seen many of these ones but as far as we are concerned it could hold up like this for another one hour giving us a
Game is roer mukasa this time he goes big booming Drive feuda comes around that one does well Rexford bacum still putting in the body on the line for his team you can see some GH boys big boys in the building there supporting their team they demand a big performance from
The home team you don’t want to be a mere host you want be competitive at home Simon says as he goes again this is even bigger almost ing the vendors there and the parking yard what a shot that was innocent what a shot that’s the professor 18 19 20 runs from that over
And that’s the end of the 1th over there you have it again this time Fuller one goes all the way and into the trees the cameras will have to find that one 131 for no loss it’s the end of the 13th over and it’s Uganda still dominating proceedings Simon
S 87 from 46 and roer mukasa 39 of 34 I’ll tell you a small story but I won’t tell you just about now roer mukasa going across the line he’s looking to get the boundaries his struggle to get the them they’re running very hard between the wickets only the weather Gods will save
Ghana from this pounding the carage is on some lasty blows from the ugan BS with a lot of fire power in their tank and more to come Richmond balleri The Pick of the balling with his final over mukasa gets into 40s 41 now they’re going for it the
Ugandans they’re going for R and they’ll try to score as many as they can scoring at 10 per over I am about to tell you a small story now that Simon sayas is on strike I don’t know if you can guess what story I can tell you give them a hint
Well he pushes that one down the Wicket we get a single controlled aggression brilliant Cricket here by Simon one would have thought he would keep going big but he’s pissing himself nicely it’s 88 off 47 deliveries from him you want to give the people a hint
About what I was going to say about Simon roer mukasa going very big very clean very smart go fetch that from the side screen Roger mukasa that six moves him to 48 now from 37 it will be a tournament made in heaven for roer mukasa back to back 50s if he gets those
Two runs but first he must get them brilliant shot hitting the one over and just hitting the S screen in front of him he 10 from that over already two balls Yet to Come Roger goes again does he get the meid of that or does it carry yes it is the half century
Up the man nicknamed Papa because he is a leader in this team gets to 50 second back to back half century for rer mukas Wango you can see the smile on his face he says I am happy to be in arra what a ground what a memory for him he’s really
Having fun here trust me he’s enjoying the moments and it’s Richmond baller who’s taking the bashing this time rocks back they want a second one and they will get it brilliant running between himself and Simon much needed more runs here and that brings us to the end of the 14th
Over the score currently is on 149 for no loss and is 10.6 for run rates Kenya getting to 141 for6 across the road rer masasa what a tournament been for him since he said playing for Uganda back in 2007 getting only his fourth T20 I career half century yesterday and
Today he makes them five career half centuries Simon say has makes them 15 the professor like you want to call him Simon s hitting this one through the gap down the ground they’ll get one you can see how Uganda batting they’re batting in pairs it’s not a onean show s
Say has lit up the the ghanian balling and now he’s hand over to respons Muk says hey mate play catch up because Roger mukasa was lacking in the 30s but now he’s moved to 56 from 39 and Simon is dealing in singles and Roger mukasa with the stronger brilliant partnership here 150
Up 150 up record partnership in the tournament Chiki from roer mukasa big big appeal from godfred B the roster man with the dreadlocks dread like a roster I know you’re love of regy Andy yeah well you can say that again yes the dread lman but if there was any he’s had
A few there trust me but if there was any music playing on the park it’s not Ghana dancing it’s the ugandans I agree with you as the African s the crowd is white watching Tanzania watching this one roer mukasa goes straight full to the side screen nobody
Will stop that Andy my friend here loves to say you can bring a Lula and measure that one straight and clean as they come straight from the testbook I’ll tell you what and when you see Bas doing this you must come watch because this is good Cricket trust me brilliant show here by
The Ugandan batters 154 runs partnership this will be a record African games record yesterday we saw 140 boundaries did we have a count for today masasa not happy with the last shot he played because he threw his hands at it he should have stepped in the line of the ball
Maybe rer mukasa the two guys playing here each with a brother in the playing 11 today rer mukasa has Frank sua in the 14 and Simon CES has Henry sen in the 14 and both with brothers that have played for the team before of course Simon C he has Ronald
Sand who is now a professor a lecturer somewhere no wonder the Nigerians call him a professor I don’t know if they knew about Ron sand and then rer mukasa with laoren stima who was here in town last week the bigger brother to him coaching the Victoria
Pars is a family affair in achimota for Uganda one of the best Bowlers for Ghana today gri has been consistent but hey ensuring it doesn’t go for for a couple and I’ll tell you what you can’t take anything away from this Ugandan side he goes big but on the
Ground Fuda comes around that one good work Simon running very quickly there happy to let Roger mukasa hog the strike it’s the end of 15 overs Uganda moving at 10 and a half per over 156 for noos Richmond gallery the one who’s considered the most today 43 from his four
Overs Kofi babina 41 from four overs gri bakim 18 from three and OB har is keeper himself 18 from one and Michael Au 20 from one have all toyed for Ghana let’s hope that somebody can come at the end here and pick a wicket but that’s not happening now
Is Simon sasi on 89 of 48 deliveries and Roger mukasa 62 of 44 Simon says as he goes midwicket region running very hard they’ll get one Simon will move into the 90s what interest me there is the strike rate 185 for Simon and 140 for roer mukasa
This is what you want your opening batters to be like when it comes to checking strike rates cat cut very well piercing it through the covers they’re running for the second chance for the run out Mr OED hary the man charged with the responsibility to complete the run out doesn’t
Hitting it down the line they will take one rotating the strike when they don’t get the big ones the biggest partnership in the tournament here between the tournament openers of Uganda Simon C and Ro mcasa roasa saying he’s happy to play with his young brother bald Simon CES is
Bowled by that man OED hary when he is one run away from reaching 2,000 career runs in T20 eyes A Rush of Blood 10 RS away from a century 90 for him now disappointed man but you must take a walk and it’s Obed hary the captain who
Strikes such Big Mo moments Don’t Come Easy when you have them you need to take them 90 of 49 deliveries including nine fours and four sixes it Simon sesi will departs that’s the delivery again he opened up his Wicket misses that one totally and the next man to come in and
Find that R him is a danger man the man of the much for yesterday’s game d Kumar mang from one left hand out to another Uganda looking to continue stepping on the gas it’s a good over from the skipper there’s a wicket in it that makes it
Even better but it’s only gone for four runs with Uganda looking to get as many as they can in the last 4.2 overs Simon C has is knock nine boundaries four M sixes most of those sixes hit to deep midwicket and he’s played out 50 balls D NR Leading Edge almost shaking
Hands with the baller n a very hard hit of the ball how I wish Prosper was here to watch his fellow left hander when you come in you can’t go straight away have a look have a look GES have a look one try turn it around the corner the second
One tries to go the shot is not on and that’s what happens Roger masasa will tell him yes you don’t have a lot of time but can you start by hitting it hard on the ground because loves to fly he’s a man who goes Airborne at every opportunity he
Gets it’s end of the 16th over it’s 160 for one the current run rate still on 10 per over is D who joins roer roer on 65 of 46 can he steal the show 24 balls to come BS to come I don’t know if Roger has it in him to think about
Scoring a big today because right now he’s on his highest score in T20 eyes roer masasa gal Wango on 65 from 46 slaps this one here past point but the search is Den doesn’t run quick between the wickets like Simon so they will take one D will take strike 32y old 8813 t0
Iron high score of 77 an average of 30 that’s a good average a strike rate of 13 not bad he’s got 250s in this T20 eye carry of his that is as old as 54 matches today getting off the Mark is Den with one through the covers Rexford
Bakum is the new baller the man you see balling there big boy lots of power behind that body Bing some medium passers again hit down to the sweeper sweeper does very well I tell you a small sad and beautiful story about Rexford bakom yesterday against South Africa when they
Were hit for 237 he suffered the most expensive spell ever in Ghana’s history in T20 eyes going for 52 in his four overs but again he was on the bright side of the history and Records coming up as the leading catcher for his team with 16 catches on the
Day 16 catches in his career so leading fielder for his team but as well he took over the unnecessary record of going for most runs taking over from mosesi who was hit for 42 earlier before this tournament in the World Cup qualifiers nakani it is mukasa trying to pierce the
Gap fambo and nakrani is back in the flash looks like he’s warming up while nakrani it’s a good over from rexport who takes uganda’s run rate from 10 to 9.8 but there is still a ball to be B in the over his over is going for six if he
Licks a boundary here he could have well have done as good as nothing in the over ah he finishes it off well dot ball a Priceless one the big boy delivering with the ball it’s end of the 17th over and it’s 166 for1 it’s Simon s would depat departed earlier Rexford
Bakum bowling that seven over last 18 delivery of this Innings is roer mukasa sitting on 69 off 49 deliveries I beg you pardon of 50 deliveries and the two from four Wicket time backto back wickets there oby hary the Golden Arm of the skipper says no carage stop it what are
You talking about what do you mean two wickets for him in successive overs hero of yesterday nothing to show with the but nakrani take a walk sir the Wicket again for you it’s Ed hav acan plane across that one and Obed have bowling Wicket to Wicket there you miss a
Hit now trust me innocent if you look at this bowling chart you probably wonder why some Bowers Kofi babina will both for us on the TRU going for 41 and gfri Bak B one over before being changed Le inako considered 15 from two Richmond baleri 4 vers 43 and
Michael 20 from his only over Michael taken to the cleaners by uganda’s balling uganda’s batting OED hary two wickets to his name the left arm Kenneth Weiss is the new man in for Uganda running around to cut that one off James quu via you will see a lot of
With a lot of him with the bat up front James Roger hitting it up in the air who wants that chance for a catch and yes the catch is taken one brings another James quam theodre Uganda losing wickets here in quick fashion and the Run rate is falling
Away two wickets in the over four OED Harvey he picked up the three thus far in the match his first over hit very hard but he’s come back nicely the captain disappointing roer will be wondering why he didn’t go straight certainly he knows it opportunity there for him OED hav his
Come back and Bard nicely from coning 18 in his first over he’s managed to just concede another three another five as Roger both six and win for8 now he’s b nine and only considered five with three wickets from those nine deliveries e on the mark Robinson gets off the strike
Immediately and he end of the 18th over 168 for3 run rate 9.3 per over Robinson AUA will have to walk with his Vice Captain Kenneth wewa this man kenet can hit the ball miles Robinson Oya playing his first game of the tournament comes in a little
Late normally plays one down but he has got to come in at number five because Uganda sent the power hitters up front to hit the ball they didn’t get any runs Rexford B Toya he gets one they must play sensible here at the back end of the Innings and give themselves a simple
Target Uganda we looking good for the 200 runs now the 200 looks like it is impossible unless the two cut loose Rexford back home Big Boy Big Show looks like he’s struggling there but he knows there’s plenty to still do for his team again no connection from the ugandans
They run very hard it will only be one what a spell at the back end of the Innings Uganda at one stage they were moving at 10 and a half per over but now they must contend with nine par over no let show from the ugandans it is Ghana that are fighting
Back and giving their F something to find Joy too obuya goes inside out over the top one bounce to the raw four runs almost flew for six that’s the power of obuya a man who’s playing his first match of the tournament more runs there for Uganda move up to
174 for the loss of three wickets in 18.4 so buah the new one in the side he’s playing his 16th match but he’s already got a half century to his name 23y old he goes This Time Square of the Wicket Kenneth White is running very quickly and there is a
Misfield fortune favors the brave Uganda have put the fielders under pressure and instead of collecting the ball go back to the basics Ghana go back to the basics bu the ball first before you look away and look at the buts that are running if you try to go to throw the
Ball before you stop it you always going to concede more runs they give Uganda a free boundary it’s Aya that gets a four out of nothing that’s the chance again and look at the mfield at the boundary ropes sprawling away and coning defeat in the
End oboya goes up and above chance for a catch oh no godfred Bak catches air with a ball inside and I tell you there’s a big rower right behind us from the fans that are watching and it’s nothing good but insult to their own player three boundaries there for be at
The back end and they give Uganda a chance to think of the 200 again three misfields and you see that man in your frame there d akani saying how I have missed out today how did this happen having chance to talk to bil Hassan basan not playing today Juma
Miyagi is into the attack there will be a pass battery from Uganda in the second Innings with cosmas and Juma coming through smart Ugandan side will probably look to B quick Spinners six overs through just in case five overs just in case the rain comes down it’s something
That we hope to see how Uganda will think this through but presently we are into the last over it’s 18 182 for the loss of three wickets after 19 it’s Uganda roaring and soaring at 9.58 and over is the captain Obed hav bowling his last over 3 for 24 from his
Three very good ball there Kenneth White are playing completely wrong line he must know that the ball is turning away from him this is a lefty balling to you you must think better just the five balls to go maybe give the strike to the strong obuya because Aya’s Miss hits
Could even go for six five balls left in this innings for Uganda who won the toss and eled to have a b again back to back dot balls Kenneth wewa is the Vice Captain he knows better he must decide now should I give obuya the one let’s see what he
Thinks he goes big does he tear the cover off the ball that’s what he was looking for and he gets exactly that OED have a place into his hands because he leans back in the cras and puts power behind the shot innocent this explains clearly what those
Swing is all about the distance of that boundary if we are taking measurement perhaps maybe 102 M from the center storm That One Flew Over deep midwicket he goes big this time he’s in the air chance for catch and the new man will be on strike Obed Reigns in the battle
Between him and Kenneth Weiss that’s why I thought obia should have been given strike but obia won’t be facing the new B will be on strike oav with four wickets the four wickets that Uganda have lost all belong to that man OED havy it’s a good catch there and
The high five Z round the park there for James vifa this is the deliver again to end of the B to eat that was some real power power swing a six and a wicket it’s Ghana OED har Captain will laugh last 188 for four two deliveries to come from this Innings alpes raval
Ramani a contender for the I men’s Player of the Year 2023 that award taken by Sak kumay of India but he was among the four alongside Mark Chapman he will go it’s all music here no second guessing is six runs for the man who was
On the IC men’s T20 Team of the Year 2023 for having picked up 55 wickets for Uganda and scored over 350 runs Ram joury of The Mark with the six last ball coming 194 Uganda six runs away from getting the converted 20 run score the look the part Captain
Obi he goes big this time in the air CH for catch does he end with a fiver oh yes five wickets for OED havy all the five wickets Uganda have lost today belong to that man OED hary Uganda won’t be minding so much about the number of
Wickets have lost because they have runs on board they finish on 194 for five OED havy with a rare five with his team under the pump the catching wasn’t good in the beginning but the last five overs they have fielded very very well the Ghana players that’s the catch there the celebration from
Leeyo tell you the last five overs have been good for Ghana Uganda was 156 for no loss after 15 but they lost a wicket in each of the last five overs as they ended up on 194 for5 umpires will walk on and walk off there Isaac oo the Kenyan Empire in your
Friend they having words with Sarah damana of Zimbabwe the sides out of here do show could be raining somewhere else and somebody is doing his thing for the rains here and that’s the Bing card for you and that’s it for us it’s OED har the captain himself after going for 18 in
That first over came back beautifully to take five for 306 from his four overs the rest of the Bowers have suffered battering here and the only one G Baku with a near Des set economy rate went for 18 from three overs and it’s Ghana 195 required from 20 overs at
9.75 per over and Trust trust me the weather looking all doy and deceptive we expecting rains but they haven’t come and so what next will we wait and see highlights we’ll watch and then we’ll be back with the second Innings To the second Innings and his Ghana will be responding to this m total here 195 from 20 overs Richmond balleri and James via will be opening the ball batting and as expected is alpes that will open the balling for Uganda they have to quickly get five overs through the wind
Clearly proceeding with start from the school end of this overal B 194 and 195 to win Ghana s says play fast ball is beaten All Hands Up Richmond balleri did ball very well a little expensive there but it was one of the bright prospects with the ball for Ghana second ball straight and
Full good protection there Uganda bearing very wise if you to hit alpes hit him straight down the ground and there is protection only two fielders allowed out of the AR in the fast six overs it’s the power play time James quu via started his Innings yesterday like a house on
Fire chance for a catch he’s gone Leading Edge to the sleeps Wicked time Uganda strike gold quu FIFA he won’t be lighting up any house here it’s Uganda with the high fives tough moment for James via he departs without scoring I was a raper fo ball left arm round the
Wicket that’s it again Justa one trying to nudge it but it finds the outside edge wasn’t playing the full face on that one is it of the chances safest P of hands on the Park from rer mukasa gal Wango one for one youa know all this won’t count for
Anything if they don’t ball five overs can only have a result in five overs OB hav the captain was strolling at three alpes ravila B the last ball of this first over and that’s it it’s end of the first over it’s one for one and it’s Gana trailing on one run per
Over from where they needed 10.21 is 194 required from 19 overs Captain masaba knows what it means he has to go through this quickly the clouds are not really friendly and this time he goes with cosmas the p man as richmon versus Cosmos straight up of the PS just a
Single Simon the man who got 90 qu Cosmos the pacan for Uganda cosas spent a y and a half out in the cold because of an injury he’s balling some Lively Pace here his Pace did trouble the Kenyans yesterday up front managing to pick up the Wicket nil mugabi trapped leg before
Wicket for zero by cosas pace and Uganda looking to use cosma sparingly because it’s only on the comeback Road after some injury days some time in the Sick Bay on the Mass’s table cut cut very well chance for chance to run it’s a good fine stop there from Henry sondo bearing his all
He will get a high five a part from Kenneth wi he says youve done well for us mate all the runs night a runs made and run saved fourth with is balling he’s balling in his 21 match he’s picked up 23 wickets so it means every time he’s bow he’s picked up
A wicket his best bowling figures are four for five again unlucky unlucky so unlucky Inside Edge that misses everyone the keeper working really hard but couldn’t get H of that one watching from here without looking at his stats you will wonder what has happened it’s bought beautifully but that
Delivery OED har surviving that one cosmas CH had his hand on his head he almost chopped it onto his on furniture runs on board hary on strike again him trying to go for a flourishing Drive Square Drive no connection good to see Cosmos doing this for his
Country the World Cup and the cards to be taken the African Games medals to sort for but I’ll tell you it’s been clinical he did it yesterday against Kenya let’s hope it tightens things up here for Uganda that line from cosmas beautiful stuff it’s the end over the second over here 8 for
One e run out and the appeal is run out given SAS kakuru and BR maras the captain work in them partnership to get rid of another Wicked it is OED hary that will take matching orders the captain he lived dangerously on the brink in the previous
Over and now he falls to a run out hit straight to the fielders hands and the run out is completed by the Dual over Skipper bran Ma masaba and Cyrus kakuru not a happy start for Ghana when you get those run out they’re more or less like giveway 8
For2 and we are into the third over of this Innings played with the edge there the skipper will chase doeses it go there to the boundary good pickup they’ll get two runs Rexford bom joining there Richmond baleri bakum Off the Mark with a pair for more
Dots and that will finish that over it’s the end of the third over 10 for two Ghana present trailing on 3.3 run rate needing 10.8 185 from 17 overs another two overs will guaranteed a game should it rain but at the moment it’s holding up a while delivery to start with
Cosmos Rexford bakum and Richmond ballery bakum with the heating ability but he’s playing against a very experienced Ugandan side he comes big misses that one charging down but then J didn’t present a shot perhaps Ghana knows this they need to fight here he’s 184 from 16.5 over was
Needed and it’s 11 for two two crucial wickets Jim via and the captain ubed Harvey down the leg side hit something perhaps no wi from that delivery it’s cosas working hard to have a good and solid comeback here for Uganda run out opportunity did they hit everything is going on the storms
Now Rexford bom would be destabilized if he walks from that one ugandans enjoying every moment from this is kenet wi who have the smile big chicky one don’t leave your craze as it again direct it on this one just in on time Rexford would have been working they will run her that
One and it will be a wide two from it wasn’t quick enough to trouble Rexford who just drops his butat was unplayable yesterday would like to ball his second over and get done with Business course the ugan coach they are coming out to say he will be used
Sparingly this is over pit he over compens it and he’s punished for for Ronald there in your frame and Franklin Suba 13th and 14th man today doing the water duties will help fielders collect it’s a boundary here 17 for2 after 3.5 the overcast conditions have remained the same someone whispering to
Me at the Innings break that it is raining everywhere else not here short almost taking the head off Mr alpes ra ramani who takes cover over pitching cosas is punished Big Boy strong levers Rexford B hits that to the boundary end of the second over cosmas two overs have gone for 17
Now end of the fourth 21 for2 174 needed by Ghana at just 10 88 per over Uganda know they are one over away from a result full face and what a fine stop from cosmas cha Tolman 6 and 1/2 ft but he goes down and stops it could have been for anywhere
Else and it was the balling change D Kumar who comes from the school end of the over looking to just get that inroad but it’s up against the solid Rexford playing sensibly now bakum half Vol just gives it a full face and that’s the difference between the Ugandan
Batters if you play such a beautiful shot and that was Pitch up to you you got the leers you got to back yourself up it’s 173 you’re chasing at the moment those are runs inside Ed he want run there Simon sayi the man on the brink of a lot of
History in this tournament everything is touched is turned into gold today with the B 15th half century for Simon and he fell short of one run of reaching 2,000 t20i career runs big shot over the top chance for a catch diving forward is Kenneth wewa does very well commitment from the
Ugandans instead of giving away one he says how about I CHP in a dive as well and make it a wicked help my baller to find Spring in his step that’s very good commitment from Kenneth you want to see those kind of attitude around the game and if you’re a
Bowler you’ll be happy with your feers if they give those commitments catch and go from the GH boys they’ll get the one kmas was hugging the 30 yard CLE this partnership looking to be that one Ghana needs Richmond baller stuck around for some time but still hover in
Around two after 10 delivery is Rexford who mov to 11 from 10 Rexford bakom playing some good test Cricket here he that tell leing the ball is a shter well 50 overs Cricket but that’s the end of the fifth over and it’s 24 for2 current run rate is 4.8 required is

Overs is Ghana still trailing behind in that required run rate of 11.72% on 4.5 re for back home and Richmond B I don’t know if they’re working hard to play to get a total they will have something to talk about to as Ghana that yes we lost but we were deficient in
Defeat all the playing time and saying we don’t want to fall in a hip what would you if you’re the coach of Ghana let me put you to task Andy what would you be telling the Ghana boys innocent what should I tell my batters give me
Runs that’s all I rather die fighting it looks to go big but couldn’t get it off the square innocent this is T20 cricket we’re not playing 50 overs or test Cricket don’t just hug the pitch get runs that’s the message for me to my team rather die trying than not try at
All staying positive is key Mii four dot balls from five deliveries and a single Decent Block lent Wicked keeper enjoying a few day there and Rex for just shocked shot for WS it’s end of the power play over number six is 25 for the loss of two Wicket Ghana still trailing with that

Day that was a brilliant shot and power hitting from Rexford bakum I tell you Henry didn’t pick that on time yes he was there for the take but I don’t think he he expected it and I would rather be alive to Bard the next one he didn’t ball very well yesterday SEO
Balling just the one over he look to do better today Henry sondo against the Kenyans Seno was put under pressure balling just the one over for 11 runs taken on by Collins and rakip playing the wrong line there Rexford bom finishes a very good over there for
Uganda he gives five runs 342 in s d Nani has got words to share with Rexford bakum thean always happy to have a chat with the BS and I tell you across the road South Africa 71 for7 they need another 71 runs with three wickets in

Group stages it’s Cosmos sorry Mii this time to Richmond Baler nine of 16 deliveries Rexford back home 11 from 18 deliveries the target is 195 and presently 165 required from 12.5 overs Uganda will have to think through this one because with victory for Kenya on that side net run rate might come
Into play on theine last day those young South Africans will not tie without fighting in the air but safe I tell you what across the over is 71 for8 is South Africa who are in all source of trouble and here Uganda dominating this is what this tournament
Is all about no team is a pushover Nigeria taking one from Namibia earlier today it tells you what we will have interesting last day Zimbabwe dominating so far with a spirited new Nigerian side who knows anything could happen hopefully it doesn’t rain so we watch interesting Cricket no ball that

That I tell you people will be wondering that is this the same South African team that scored 237 for two yesterday against Ghana yes they are the same team and I tell you what Kenya did they did play around with the tactics they read the conditions better you look at Kenya’s
Bowling card and I tell you one small story because we don’t have much to say about this game for now but look at that bowling scorecard of Kenya they brought in Gerard muoy who’s bowled two overs for nine run for six runs and picked up a wicked there is that youngster anav
Patel the under 19 boy who was the best Bower during the World Cup qualifiers in Abuja last year he’s picked up four wickets for 15 runs the young Ley is that mystery alongside the experienced sham go whose forers have gone for 18 and picked up two wickets Kenya have worked the
Conditions right and read the surface better opting to B first when Collins obuya was given back his rightful number to open the Innings he’s the legend he’s the Master Blaster he got them a 50 at the top from 47 and that’s the difference innocent those experience will always be the difference and that’s

HS George Van Haren the South African there who got 100 yesterday leading the Run scorers 129 Roger mukasa number two at 128 Simon CI number three at 99 with the wickets it is a Lucas nandas with seven at top the Kenyan and for the MVP it’s Roger mukasa leading with 524 points
More runs here for Ghana we into the 12th over looking like we will go through this Innings and all the stories about Reigns it’s a much needed calm and cool weather so I’m Delight to see that the king of England visit recently perhaps he has not gring into his is third
Kakuru Ghana won’t be taking a second there throws coming in from everywhere it tells you about something about these wickets over th runs yesterday and today we having more runs another ,000 runs in the tournament on day two we are already 2,000 runs thus far how many more Ghana score here will tell
Us outside it finds it that would race away the dogout and the fans here applauding everything that’s Ugandan still walking in the Nets it shows the commitment and the consistency here unlucky denish right there in your frame momentarily as that boundary was scored you could see right there no chance for the
Chase Fred aam the reserve Wicket keeper for Uganda and Ronald doing some work in the Nets no moment to rest every opportunity you get you’ve got to work on your skills there’s a new but Alex Alex o this game is funny another Cricket teaches you to be
Humble from the highs of scoring 237 South Africa can only get 70 today on the same Wicket they played on yesterday he’s running start to go back 12 overs done 16 RS per over is what Gana need any chance for victory here endurance you know it you know how I call it
I don’t see it happening the top four batters would have been the ones to give Ghana a glimpse of Hope however they’ve been left to go with just one man in that top order Richmond ballery will still struggling at 26 of 34 deliveries having lost four wickets is
Always going to be very very difficult we’ve seen 55 catches in this tournament th far and 650s it’s a good show here we have 125 players who have been involved over 2,000 runs and we’re still on in the last game of today 64 sixes and 162 Falls what a
Tournament you’re listening to the man with the stats endurance of him sounding very very sharp every inch like the professor well done on the stats there there’s been a 100 from the captain of South Africa George Van heran only four Ballers have been able to get maidens no hat tricks thus
Far 19 players have been dismissed on zero and there have been 55 catches taken as well the Ballers have been generous giving away 66 wides and 22 no balls that type of tournament 2,50 runs and we still counting how many more does Ghana want here easy take easy pick what a soft
This missile is Alex who departs for six from nine deliveries and it’s 65 for five Ghana in all sorts of trouble the hope is lost can we say that Alex o his job is done and dusted for the day he will go to the games Village cool off and enjoy the
Nities at the University of Ghana a beach is nearby a bazik next door and there’s a lot of mingling and mixing th him there the softest of this missiles Alam joury doesn’t even celebrate hand shaking with the bowler number seven coming through and walks in at number seven Mr Michael
Ram johani four wickets yesterday two today he’s bow 2.4 overs he’s gone for just four runs the man with the most wickets in the calendar 2023 55 wickets to his name he is looking to start up the on a high here six wickets already in this tournament and this the last delivery of
The 13th over brilliant line turning in is Michael AB he can also B but not sure he can go as big as Ghana would want at the moment it’s end of the 13th over 65 for5 run rate is on five runs required rate is 18.5 look at that 130
Required from Seven overs this is a real tall order for Gana and what do they look to do batt out the overs or try and enforce some runs even give them some hope and life that hope is lost I would say unless you get who one man to perform magic with a bat
Kenneth Weiss the vice captain of the cricket cranes with the ball from the achimota golf club end he starts with one straight and full and he gets the Wicket 65 for5 becom 65 for6 did you see the confidence of WW he didn’t even have to look at the Umpire
He was aing knowing his plumped that’s some confidence and control of the ball a good knock from Richmond baller comes to an end that’s the dismissal shuffling across the stamps Kenneth wiwa confident appeal is rewarded and yes it’s a good decision umpires always have the best angles stepping across the
Stamps a wicket of his first ball fast Wicket for Kenneth can two wickets in the tournament now chance to run running very hard they want a second run they won’t get it under the conditions yesterday Kenneth Weiss Bard very well one for 18 and three he comes up today picks up a
Wicket on the first ball 129 130 from 6.5 overs this game looking like a dead robber I would say but Ghana need to pick themselves up give it a bit of fight easy run out will he hit no Captain masaba smiling to the sky on that
One two runs from that over and a wicket he knows it down the leg side no ways what is happening there what is the appeal about Joseph kuame two singles from this over two balls to come and we’re into the 14th over 67 for6 if you’re just joining us is the African
Games and it’s March number eight here are aim over B it’s Uganda versus Ghana Uganda setting the pace after winning the toss 194 with Ghana 195 to win at the moment is 67 for6 it’s kenes wiwa who tries to find that yoka but keeps drifting down the leg
Side to the end of the 14th over and it’s 67 for6 run rate required now at 20.7 per over for 14 overs gone here 68 for6 21 every over needed you feel that this game done and dusted as a contest M Victory possession for Uganda who will

Pair with cosmas chuta who bow up front Yi finally strikes he was itching ever close to his first Wicket in the tournament and uh the boy from naguru playing his first match picks up a wicked course naguru is a small sabab very many slam dwellers there how
Close is it to campala naguru is a 5 minutes walk to lugogo so it tells you the story he grew up in the neighborhood there watching and loving the game of course he’s a very good basketballer Juma Miyagi and the cricket authorities have had to fight him to St from the
Basketball court because he was taking a toll on his back dude give him a big contract and he will stay away make sure but look at that delivery again super stuff bull’s eye for J Miyagi there and then timber for him beautiful places to be in campala not forgetting in

Misery the second Innings and no show from them the first innings was a Ugandan show with some liters and sparkles of Brilliance from their Captain OED hav who picked up a FIV J Miyagi trying to pierce it into the legs there nag will be happy with these figures
He’s got one ball to go he can wrap it up here for Uganda unfortunate for Ghana things not happening their way but the tail of the tap Uganda been very very dominant and it’s Miagi wrapping it all up three wickets in his third over game set and match
Uganda Uganda with a big victory a big hug for Juma Miyagi from Kum nakrani high fives all around the park it’s a job very well done for Uganda who will take a deserved rest they win by 121 runs number 22 in the world too much and
A little too much for Ghana who are the lowest ranked Nation here and this is the final dismissal the leg stamp goes cat wheeling and it’s high fives for Uganda the home fans nothing for them to smile about or even right about home that is it Juma with three to end it
All 73 all out for Ghana it’s the cricket cranes that are flying over the black stars and this is the batting score card two players getting into the 20s H off to Richmond balleri for his 36 ball knock of 27 and Rexford Bak whom who
Stayed and held for with 20 from 23 the rest of the guys nothing Uganda mean with the bowling they give away only eight runs in extras let’s look at the bowling score card here because 73 allout score for Ghana in 16 overs and the balling there you can see
Ales J started it all up with cosmas chuta who is being used sparingly in this tournament his to has went for 17 years yes but Ram Jani 2 for six Juma Miagi The Pick of the balling there are three for 10 cleaning up the tail Henry
SEO toil for 2 for8 and Kenneth Weiss 1 for two in his one over with the Fielding picking up the rest of the Wicks there couple of run outs I tell you that’s how things look like eight runs in extras the summary of the match it was
