Team Previews
Sapphire Preview
Sapphire has had a mixed campaign, winning two and losing two matches. Hamu Kayondo has been their standout performer with 113 runs, while Henry Ssenyondo has been their leading wicket-taker with 7 scalps. The team’s batting lineup, including Ronald Omara and Calvin Watuwa, has shown potential but needs more consistency. Sapphire’s bowling attack, led by Ssenyondo and supported by Bilal Hassan, has been effective in restricting opponents. Sapphire will look to their top order to provide a solid start and their bowlers to maintain pressure throughout the innings.
Ruby Preview
Ruby has struggled in the tournament, losing all three of their matches. Joseph Baguma has been their top performer, contributing both with the bat (75 runs) and the ball (4 wickets). However, the team has lacked consistency, with Fahad Mutagana being the only other notable performer. Ruby’s middle order has been a major concern, and their bowlers need to find consistency. Ruby will need their top order to fire and their bowlers to step up if they are to secure their first win.
