The Cricket Cranes secured a decisive victory against Nigeria during Friday morning's Pearl of Africa T20 Series encounter at Lakeside Oval in Entebbe. Rain interference led to a Duckworth-Lewis calculation that confirmed Uganda's 77-run triumph. The hosts established a formidable total of 180 for four wickets across their full allocation of twenty overs. Robinson Obuya anchored the innings with an undefeated 58 from 39 deliveries. Raghav Dhawan and Shrideep Mangela each contributed 33 runs to strengthen Uganda's position.
Weather conditions forced officials to reduce Nigeria's chase to 163 runs from 18 overs. The visitors managed only 85 for five wickets before their innings concluded. Isaac Danladi led Nigeria's resistance with 26 runs while Selim Salau added 24. Matthew Musinguzi claimed two wickets for 16 runs to lead Uganda's bowling attack. The victory positions Uganda favorably before their Saturday afternoon clash with the United Arab Emirates.
