White Clouds CC Pulled off 15 Runs Win Over Kigali Angels

{{White Clouds CC pulled off 15 runs win over Kigali Angels in a tight and interesting game on Saturday 24th May 2014 in the on-going women’s computer point T20 tournament.}}

Kigali Angels needing 119 to win from 20 overs, they were on course until Egidia Uwimana that seemed a threat to WCCC was run out on 49 runs in the last over.

There was a lot of pressure on the field when Egidia was batting because she was hitting our bowlers and has ability to turn the game said WCCC captain Iriho Veronique.

Uwera Sarah the KACC captain said, if only our middle order batters comprising of Ishimwe Diane and Antoinette were not out early, we would have won the game.

A first wicket stand of 60 runs between Byukusenge Vestine (33) and Mary Maina (36) gave WCCC a leading edge to win the game.

On Sunday Victory CC suffered a 53 run loss to Challengers after they failed to chase 209. Challengers made the most of VCC’s poor fielding to post the highest score so far in this year’s computer point T20 tournament.

Mutuyimana Evode 57 runs and Subashis Samal 77 runs made the most runs for Challengers.

Andy Storey’s brilliant knock of 74 runs not out off 53 balls with seven fours and 3 sixes wasn’t enough to take VCC home. We had an early collapse that probably contributed to our loss said Ed Pearson who make 48 runs.

Indo-Pak CC’s performance continued to decline as they lost their third straight game to Indorwa CC by 62 runs. Put in to bat, ICC scored 187 runs in their allotted 20 overs with Nayan Patel 49 runs and Denis Mukama 25 runs not out.

Good bowling figures from Ndayisenga Freddy 2/17 and Mukesh Joshi 2/23 posed the biggest threat to IPCC batters as they reaped through them. It was only Adnan Abbasi 34 runs who offered some resistance.

Group A preliminaries ended on Sunday with Challengers leading the group with 15 points followed by Victory CC with 10 points.
