Arthur Ziraba inspires Wanderers

By Norman Katende

ARTHUR Ziraba kept Wanderers on course as his side won their two games, to make it four wins in four encounters of the national T-20 cricket league.

With Ali Raza making 68, Ziraba and Abdullah Lubega added 38 runs each as Wanderers set SVPC a target of 189 runs to chase in the 20 allocated overs at Lugogo oval in the morning.

With Farouk Ochimi (2 wickets for 14 runs) and Nehal Bibodi (2/16) attacking to defend, all that SVPC would manage was 99/7 in 20 overs, thanks to Hilal Patel’s 41 runs. Wanderers won by 90 runs.

Ziraba came back in the afternoon and smashed 93 runs as Wanderers set Tornado B a target of 170 runs to chase in the 20 overs.

Jeremy Kibuuka Musoke (58) and Fred Isabirye (22) tried to chase but lost gas at 129/8 as Tornado picked their second win of the day, and fourth in the league.

Warriors were also double winners, beating Mwiri by five wickets in the morning and SVPC by 3 wickets, having defended their 94 runs and 95 runs that they had respectively set for their opponents.
