Ceylon Lions bowling made the game easy for them, thanks to Ruwan Jayaratne and David Wabwire who picked two wickets each.

From Masaka road, Kyambogo Avengers picked up their second win of the season and condemned Kutchi Tigers to their second loss of the season.

In Entebbe Tornado and Patidar played out a low scoring thriller as Patidar won by just 3 runs.
Tornado looked good for the win at 108/5 but Chitani Kerai (picked five wickets) threw a spanner in the works as a the final 5 wickets for Tornado scored just 20 runs to gift Patidar a 3 run win.
A new look Tornado had some experienced names such as Rogers Olipa, Lubega Abdallah, John Gabula and Simon Ayella but nerves got the better of them and dropped points.
