On Matchday 5 of the ILT20 Continental Cup in Rwanda, Henry Ssenyondo delivered a stellar efficiency to steer Uganda to a commanding seven-wicket victory over Nigeria.
Uganda gained the toss and opted to bowl first, making two modifications to their lineup from the earlier recreation.
Frank Nsubuga changed Joseph Baguma, whereas Cosmas Kyewuta got here in for Fred Achelam, with Simon Ssesazi taking up wicketkeeping duties in Achelam’s absence.
Nigeria began aggressively in opposition to Uganda’s tempo duo, Juma Miyagi and Cosmas Kyewuta, reaching 10 with out loss within the first over.

Uganda’s bowlers tightened the grip, lowering Nigeria to 71/4 after 10 overs.
Henry Ssenyondo stole the present with a sensational four-over spell, claiming 5 wickets for simply eight runs together with two maidens.
His efforts, complemented by Frank Nsubuga’s two wickets and Dinesh Nakrani’s two scalps, noticed Nigeria bowled out for a modest 103 in 19 overs.
In response, Uganda’s chase started cautiously, with just one run scored within the first over.
Simon Ssesazi and Robinson Obuya opened the innings, however Ssesazi fell within the third over.
Regardless of the early setback, Obuya anchored the innings with a powerful 62 off 42 balls, his second half-century of the match.
