PATRICK Ochan and Emmanuel Issaneez ensured a brilliant display of pace bowling sharing seven wickets as Uganda beat Scotland by 64 runs to its maiden win in the U-19 World Cup here yesterday.
With both sides searching for their first win in the 16-nation tournament, the Asiatic Sports sponsored side started the batting on a false note losing two early wickets before man-of-match Ochan (64) steadied the innings to notch the first half century for Uganda in the five matches played.
His exploits with Jimmy Okello (13) saw the pair pile a 76-run partnership off 92 balls for the third stand that only needed a late order 41 runs from Issaneez to reach 214-9 having benefited from the opponents 46 extras.
Scotland’s reply started indifferently, with two of their big hitters Gordon Goudie and Robert Cannon leaving the crease for ducks, falling to the one-day death bowling of Jimmy Okello and Davis Arinaitwe.
The win means Uganda will play for the 13th slot against Ireland in the plate final play-off today.
The team now returns on Monday.
