Rounders were moving on smoothly at 59 for one in 10 overs after opting to bat first but hell broke loose as they lost five crucial wickets to comical run outs, something that didn’t do their cause any good. But they re-ignited a mini revival through their mid-order batsmen U-19 hopeful Irishad Suleiman (38) and wrist-player Narinder Singh (36) after hard-hitting opener Ronald Okeng had gotten their inning off to a flier with 39 runs. Rounders set a competitive...

Today – Division I ACC v Tornado (Lugogo) Rounders v Nile (Kyambgo) Division II Warriors v T. Lions (Entebbe) Charity v Castle XI (Budo) JICC v Patidar (Jinja)   Keith Legesi, the Tornado captain, has said his players will be all eyes and not give Africa Cricket Club (ACC)’s immensely talented all-rounder Hamza Almuzahim Saleh much leeway when the two sides clash in a National League Division I fixture at Lugogo oval today. “Hamza is a match winner for ACC and everybody knows that if he stays longer at the crease, ACC can win the game. I saw him bat during the National team’s T12 tournament on Friday and his half-century was a testament of his fine form,” said Legesi. Saleh and his ACC mates return to league action after...
