The class of Shahzad Kamal was the difference between Ceylon Lions and Challengers. The stylish left-hander scored the 1st century in the top flight as Ceylon Lions picked up their second win in a row against a strong Challengers side. Ceylon Lions batted 1st and scored 204/7 with Shahzad Kamal (102) the top scorer and he was ably supported by Ruwan Jayaratne (40). In response, Challengers started well Emmanuel Hasakya (48) and Perry Wazombe (56) gave the cushion at the top of the order but a fiver from Deus Muhumuza (5/23) put a stop to the charge as Challengers folded for 178 all out. The 1st loss for Challengers but a second win for Ceylon Lions that keeps them in the hunt for the title.
In Kyambogo the local derby was won by Wanderers by 4 wickets. A low-scoring encounter ACC batting 1st and putting on 133 all-out who were 70/0 at a certain stage.
