ICC World's Women T20 Qualifier

Selected result

Thailand 67/9 Uganda 68/6

(Uganda win by 4 wickets)

Tuesday

Uganda v Ireland

The Lady Cricket Cranes are on recovery road in the ongoing ICC World's Women T20 Qualifier in Netherlands.

Immaculate Nakisuyi impressed with a man of the match performance when Uganda defeated Thailand by four wickets with 11 balls to spare Sunday.

Thailand could not keep up with Uganda's seamers in an innings where they were restricted to 67. Gertrude Chandiru and Immaculate Nakisuyi combined for 2 wickets apiece.

Uganda impressed chasing the game as Nakisuyi scored a team best 21 runs to put a grain of hope in Uganda's ambitions at the global stage.

This was a positive come back from Kevin Awino and Co who had lost their opening fixture against Scotland.

Uganda is pitted against Scotland, Thailand and Ireland in group B as Bangladesh, Netherlands, Papua New Guinea and UAE are placed in group A.

The Lady Cricket Cranes qualified for the global qualifier after their heroics in Namibia last year when they won the ICC T20 Africa World Cup Qualifier.

The top two teams from the competition qualify directly to the World Cup November in West Indies.
