The Baby Cricket Cranes’ 50 Over games of their tour of India ended on a positive note with a 124-run win today.
The victory over SAI Cricket Academy was the fourth 50 Over win out of six games they have played at the Sanjay Farm.
Team captains Fahad Mutagana (49), Brian Asaba (34), Musa Majid Ramathan (16), Jaffer Ochaya (15), and Christopher Kidega (13) posted 178 runs in their innings.
However, Joseph Baguma didn’t show up today regarding wicket-taking, but Yunusu Sowobi took it upon himself to hurt the opposition.
Sowobi plucked five wickets as Emmanuel Isaneez’s boys bowled out SAI in the 19th Over with only 54 runs on the board.

Kidega and Ramathan were the other players that got wickets, each with two, and coach Isaneez liked the display.
“From my assessment, the boys have achieved great things. For example in the batting department, the boys have been able to play all the 50 Overs.”
When asked what they intend to continue working on when they finally get back home, Isaneez said.
“The boys have been able to get amazing partnerships. We had one of 99 and then 71. We will try to emphasize that they keep getting those small achievements.”
The side will play a T20 game tomorrow which will be their last game of this tour before departing India on Thursday.
The purpose of this trip was to fine-tune them ahead of the U19 World Cup Regional Qualifiers due in July in Tanzania.
