Chasing a modest goal of 126, Uganda fell brief, managing solely 101/4.
The loss adopted one other setback yesterday, the place Namibia clinched a 21-run victory to stage the sequence 2-2.
Within the first defeat, Uganda opted to bowl after successful the toss and made two modifications to their lineup, bringing in Irene Mutoni and Sarah Walaza.

Nonetheless, Namibia recovered rapidly, posting 39 with out loss by the tip of the powerplay.
Kayleen Inexperienced anchored the innings with a gentle 48, whereas Suné Wittmann contributed 29.

Within the fourth match, Namibia’s Wittmann starred with a commanding 54 off 43 balls, guiding her facet to 114/8.

“We have to replicate, particularly on our fielding.”
With the sequence now tied 2-2, each groups have Sunday off earlier than a pivotal Recreation 5 on Monday, April 14.
Momentum—and satisfaction—will probably be on the road.
