It was a day for bowlers to forget as batsmen ran riot with seven half-centuries and four tons from five fixtures across both tiers of the Men’s National 50-Over League on Sunday. 
First, Roger Mukasa’s century of 137 runs off 72 balls cancelled out Arthur Kyobe’s brilliant 90-ball 124 ton for Division One champions Tornado B to defeat Challengers by six wickets at Lugogo Oval.

The result meant Tornado B ably recovered from their first season defeat while Challengers had begun their quest on the wrong note. 
“As a team, we are glad to have greatly improved after the loss to Tornado,” Mukasa said. “This year’s title race is really open,” he added. The flat Lugogo wicket was ideal for batsmen all day. 
When Tornado B stuck in their opponents, left-hander Kyobe stylishly struck 16 boundaries and six maximums as he shared a 167-run stand with Arnold Otwan (89 off 112) in the opening 26.1 overs. 
Kyobe was caught by Davis Karashani off Nicholas Kebba (1/49).
