Tanzania v Uganda

Tanzania vs Uganda In the tight contest of the day at the ICC World Twenty20 Africa B Qualifier, Tanzania was pushed all the way, before eventually prevailing in the final over of their chase. In pursuit of 156 to win, they got there with just five balls to spare, as Uganda made them scrap for every run. Having batted first, Uganda themselves had compiled 155 for eight in their 20 overs, with skipper Roger Mukasa (38), Ronak Patel (33) and Dinesh Nakrani (32 from 11 balls) all chipping in towards the competitive total. With ball in hand, Zamoyoni Jaboneke garnered three for 28, while Kassim Mussa weighed in with three for 15, the first hattrick at Gahanga. Tanzania had to go at just short of eight runs an over, against a disciplined attack, and they were made to work very hard for their runs. Abhik Patwa's 36-ball 47 was the foundation for the chase, before Muhammad Zaifar Khan made 40 not out. He got support from Jaboneke, who added a breezy 32 off just 12 balls to finish off a fine day for Tanzania. Uganda: 155 for eight (R Mukasa 38, R Patel 33, K Mussa 3/15) Tanzania: 158 for four (A Patwa 47, M Khan 40 not out, Z Jaboneke 32 not out) Tanzania won by six wickets
