The most shocking result of the season thus far! Who could have imagined the four time defending champions Tornado Bee losing at the hands of a lowly Charity? Well, the fact stands, the latter upset the former by 5 wickets  in the Jazz Safari National Men's League Sunday at the Entebbe oval.

In their innings, Tornado Bee got inspiration from Lawrence Sematimba's half ton of 50 from 70 balls and Baig Akbar's near half century of 44 from 116 balls to post 194 in 50 overs.

Chasing the score, man of the match Jonathan Sebanja rose to the occasion, lifting his side with an all-important half century of 56 from 67 balls not out in the second innings.  Another performance from the "Baby Cricket Cranes" youngster Steven Wabwose of  a near half ton (48 off 60 balls) ensured the score board moved in favour of  the last bottom side who eventually posted 195 in just 38.5 overs.

Meanwhile, left arm spinner Innocent Ndawula continued to enjoy his "moment of madness" this season with a 3 wicket haul which comes at the backdrop of a career best 7 wickets claim in Charity's previous game against Aziz Damani.

The loss for the defending champions means they are still 10 points with a game less behind leaders Tornado Bee on 49 points.

At Kyambogo Shantilal Raghvani put up a man of the match performance picking a commendable 5 wickets as Kutch Tigers won their sixth game of the season by 6 wickets. His team mate Dineshkumar Nakrani struck a near century of 88 from 56 balls on another good day for the team.

In the second division at Budo, Premier grabbed their sixth win of the season  against SKLPS as Dennis Musali's half ton of 72 off 62 balls guided Wanderers to their third win of the season at the Jinja oval.

In division three Kampala Pirates beat Avengers by 44 runs at Kyambogo oval courtesy of Joshua Mwanja's 43 from 46 balls.
