Cricket World Cup Challenge League B
Uganda 276 Hong Kong 200 (Uganda won by 76 runs)
Alpesh Ramjani scored a match-best 68 before taking 4/18 to go along with two catches as Uganda defeated Hong Kong by 76 runs to stay top of the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B.
Ramjani, who was named player of the match, enjoyed a 111-run fourth-wicket stand with the inform Raghav Dhawan (52) that formed the foundation of the victory over the hosts.
Hong Kong's bowlers could do little to stop Uganda from accumulating a competitive score. 
Riazat Shah lost the toss, and Hong Kong opted to field first, a decision the Cricket Cranes immediately took advantage of.
Uganda's batting has been reliable all tournament, and that was largely the case against Hong Kong, with eight batsmen reaching double figures, albeit only two of those touching the 50-run mark.
Shah contributed 40, while openers Robinson Obuya and Shrideep Mangela added 26 and 16 runs respectively.
Fred Achlem scored 15 runs, Dinesh Nakrani 13, and Kenneth Waiswa 10 for Uganda, who were bowled out for 276 with one ball to spare.

Hong Kong started their response poorly, falling to 5/56 but Yasim Murtaza and Zeeshan Ali combined for 75 runs to breathe life into the hosts' chase.
But Cosmas Kyewuta (2/43), Juma Miyagi (2/54), Henry Ssenyondo (1/25), and Dinesh Nakrani (1/57) ensure Hong Kong's fightback would fall short.
Uganda moved four points clear at the top of the log, although second-placed Italy have a game in hand.
