Team Previews
Ruby Preview
Ruby has struggled in the tournament so far, losing all three of their matches. However, their last match showed glimpses of potential as they posted a massive total of 204 runs. Roger Mukasa was the standout performer, scoring 90 runs off just 44 balls, while Calvin Watuwa contributed a quickfire 55. The bowling unit, led by Joseph Baguma (4 wickets in the tournament), needs to step up to defend such totals. Despite their losses, Ruby’s batting lineup has shown firepower, and they will look to capitalize on it in this match.
Strengths: Explosive batting lineup, strong top order.
Weaknesses: Inconsistent bowling, lack of confidence.
Gold Preview
Gold has had a mixed start to the tournament, with two wins and two losses. In their last match, they lost to Emerald by 7 wickets despite posting a competitive total of 164. Oscar Manishimwe has been their top performer with 103 runs, while Yunus Sowobi has been effective with the ball, taking 5 wickets. The team needs more consistency from their middle order and a stronger bowling performance to contain Ruby’s explosive batting.
Strengths: Reliable all-rounders, decent batting depth.
Weaknesses: Inconsistent middle order, bowling vulnerabilities.
