ILT20 Continental Cup
Uganda 189/6 Kenya 193/2
(Kenya win by eight wickets)
Kenya's Dhiren Gondoria smashed a ruthless 94 runs and Rakeep Patel added a cool 56 as the Simbas made light work of Uganda in the ILT20 Continental Series, beating their rivals by eight wickets today in Kigali.
Uganda had raced to 189/6 in the first innings on the back of Gerald Olipa's (53), Riazat Shah's (45), Kenneth Waiswa's (37), and Charles Musemeza's (30) batting efforts.
But Kenya were in amazing form against an opponent who has dominated them in recent years, piling on the runs from beginning to end.
Uganda's bowling attack will not remember this contest fondly, as they failed to make any headway against the Kenyans, and in particular man of the match Ghondoria, who accumulated his match-best total off just 47 balls. Patel was unbeaten off 35 balls.
Uganda's wickets were snapped by Mathew Musinguzi and Juma Miyagi.
Uganda next face Sierra Leone on Tuesday.
