Cricket Cranes suffered two defeats in their first two T20 games on Friday on their Training Tour to India. In the heat of Mumbai, the Ugandans failed to defend 166 runs in the first game and despite putting on a commanding 188 in the afternoon they still came up short with the ball. Ronald Lutaaya marked a return to the national team colours with a commanding half-century.
His 52 came off just 33 balls in some aggressive stroke play with support coming from Kenneth Waiswa (26) and Robinson Obuya (21). The contributions from each batter helped the team post a commanding 166 with useful contributors from the whole squad. However, Cricket Cranes failed to control things with the ball with the home side scoring freely and easily to ensure that they stay with the required rate.
