Blasters 111/3 in 15 Overs (Charles Musemeza 46, Simon Ssesazi 32)- Titans 77/7 in 15 Overs (Amos Ahura 18, Fred Achelam 15* ; Emmanuel Okwalinga 2/19, Mathew Musinguzi 2/6)
Blaster won by 34 runs
Blasters tightened their grip on the top spot on Saturday morning with a calm 34 run win over Titans in a reduced overs match at the Lakeside Oval in Entebbe.
After winning the toss, captain Kenneth Waiswa chose to bat and watched his side put together a steady 15 over innings.
Simon Ssesazi set the platform with a composed 32 from 33 balls, keeping things tidy through the early overs.
The innings gained control after Ssesazi fell in the 10th over. Charles Musemeza then took charge, guiding Blasters with an unbeaten 46 off 38 balls.
Abraiz Mir Ali added 15, while Waiswa chipped in with a brisk 10 off six balls, including a big six that pushed the total along.
Blasters finished on 111 for 3. Titans’ bowlers, led by Ivan Baidhu, Okecho Jordan and Jaffer Ochaya, kept things disciplined but couldn’t stop Musemeza from anchoring the innings.
Titans’ chase never found its feet. Ochaya was out first ball, and Conrad Lubwama was run out without facing, leaving them two down without a run on the board.
Blasters tightened the noose with the ball. Mathew Musinguzi starred with 2 for 6 from three overs, while Yashashvi Joshi and Pius Oloka kept the pressure on.
Amos Ahura tried to resist with 18, but wickets continued to fall as Titans slipped to 50 for 7.
Fred Achelam (15*) and Baidu (12*) offered late resistance, but the outcome was never in doubt. Titans closed on 77 for 7, 34 runs short.
The win keeps Blasters firmly on top of the table. Action at the Lakeside Oval continues in the afternoon, with Warriors facing Gladiators at 2 pm.
