Any prayers from opponents and neutrals that Tornado B ladies lose their first match in 2015 are not about to be answered.

Devoid of skipper Mackenzie Ayato who lost her mother a week ago, the ladies in green stripe beat Jinja SS by ten wickets at the University Oval in Kyambogo Oval on Saturday.

Tornado B remains unbeaten in four National Women’s 40-Over League matches but the club is even yet to register a single loss overall since winning the Sixes Challenge title on May 9.

“It’s eight matches without defeat and still counting,” Tornado B coach Jackson Ogwang told Daily Monitor. “The girls were ruthless with the ball and my prayer is that we keep this consistency for as long as we can.”

The 2014 Twenty20 Premier League champions Jinja opted to bat first but couldn’t pay back for defeat in this year’s Sixes Challenge final. 
“My girls didn’t show any fighting spirit,” dejected coach Habibu Mugalula said.

“And besides, morale was gone once we lost wickets early.”
First, Racheal Ntono (2/18) and Rashida ‘German Juice’ Kalsum (1/9) struck early to leave Jinja whirling at 37-4 in 12.4 overs.

Only Jinja SS captain Claire Mushakamba managed double figures (12 off 33) as her side crumbled from 50-5 to 62 all out at the mercy of Ritah Nyangendo and Hope Wanichan (3/7 each).

Tornado B’s opening pair Saidat Kemigisha (29* off 29) and Kalsum (27* off 37) played like twins and only need 10.4 overs to seal the job in somewhat incredible manner.
Still on rather low scoring day, Pricco Nakitende was all over Charity Trust Fund’s batters with 4/7 and two maidens in a fine 25-ball spell that helped her side Pioneer win by ten wickets at Lugogo.

To add to Nakitende’s quality, skipper Justine Musubika (2/5) potency sliced through Charity’s batting order as well only to crumble like a pack of cards for meager 31 all out.
Then Pioneer’s Lelia Namaganda (2* off 15) brilliantly rotated the strike for fellow partner Carol Namugenyi (21* off 18) to put her side over the line mid-way the sixth over.
