By Mark NamanyaTornado 291/6 Castle XI 140/10Premier 178/10 Nile 176/10THREE timely half centuries from Akbar Baig, Franco Nsubuga and William Kibuuka Musoke returned title hopefuls Tornado to the top of the Castle Lager league at Kyambogo Oval as the second round got underway yesterday.A comfortable 151 run victory means Tornado surpasses favourites Wanderers at least for a week, although the former has played a game more.Batting first, Tornado got an early scare when opener Joel Olweny was dismissed for 9 off 32 balls.But upper order hitman Baig did not follow suit. Baig improved his side’s innings hammering home 8 boundaries en route to his 65.And although there was a brief collapse with the fall of Solomon Sseruga and Benjamin Musoke, Nsubuga restored parity with 55 runs. Tornado’s last wicket partnership of Kibuuka Musoke (50) and Andrew Othieno (35) both not out did the final damage.Philip Kahuma top scored in Castle’s futile chase with a 36. Joel Olweny made up for his early exit capturing four wickets.
