Uganda’s Cricket Cranes have finally registered a victory at the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup Africa Qualifiers in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Captain Riazat Ali won the toss and elected to bowl first. His Cricket Cranes charges restricted the Buggy Blues to just 81 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the first innings.

This was chased down summarily in 12.4 overs courtesy of a Man-of-the-Match winning performance by Raghav Dhawan.

A relieved Riazat Ali Shah said, “The bowlers were superb today, and Raghav’s innings showed the maturity we need at the top. It was important to end the group stage with a win, and now we want to carry this momentum into the fifth-place semifinals.”

Coach Abhay Sharma commended the team’s recovery from the poor start saying, “It was not flawless, but it was the response we needed. The boys showed character, especially after such a tough defeat. This win restores belief and sets us up for the playoffs.”
