Proscovia Alako scored 198 not out as Masaka SS beat Lords Meade by 233 runs at the National Girls Schools Cricket.

The Tuesday game in Soroti was Masaka’s third of the tournament and they delivered the victory in style.

Alako got 42 against St. Mary’s Madera in the morning game, but was well-hyped in the afternoon game as she hit 21 fours and 13 sixes.

Now on 260 runs, Alako also picked 2 wickets from three Overs, but it was her teammate Hasifa Naula who had the most with 4.

The victory keeps Yusuf Nanga‘s team second in Group B, behind Jinja SS who have played a game more. The two face off on Wednesday to decide who tops the group.

Jinja SS also comfortably beat Lords Meade in the morning. They won by 153 runs to stay unbeaten.

Mary Namiro (64) and Sharifa Kakwezi were the star players in that game.

Lords Meade haven’t won a game, but their head coach Eddy Agaba insists he’s impressed with their performance.

“This is a learning process for us. I’m happy with how the team is performing especially our fielding.”

Olila High School defeat Ndejje SS

In Group A, Olila High are still untouchable. The side beat Ndejje SS by 122 runs in their fourth game.

Jimia Muhammad missed hitting a half-century by 3 runs, so did Malisa Ariokot who got 43 not out.

Lorna Anyait (23), Asumin Akurut (22), and Esther Iloku (13) were the other double-digit hitters for Olila.

In bowling, Mary Nabuma with 3 topped the day’s chart. Before Ndejje’s loss to Olila, they had lost to Light SS by 91 runs in the morning.

Esther Namutebi picked 5 wickets for Ndejje, but their chase failed miserably as they were bowled out with only 5 runs after ten Overs.

Patricia Timong also had five wickets to her name for her school Light SS against Ndejje SS.

Light SS have played a game more than Olila, but they trail their rivals who have maximum points.
