Wanderers Cricket Club put on a show of power and precision on Saturday, sweeping KC Budo Cricket Club in both UG20 2025 League games at the Lugogo Cricket Oval.
The Wanderers won the morning clash by eight wickets before sealing the afternoon game with a dominant 83-run victory.
In the first encounter, KC Budo never settled, managing just 106 for 8 in their 20 overs. Ejidra Godfrey (25 off 31) and Gerald Orumo (22 off 10) tried to steady the innings, but Wanderers’ bowlers, led by Raheel Sarwar (4/14) and Abdul Basit Habib (2/8) were relentless.
Chasing the modest target, Wanderers made it look easy, cruising to 108 for 2 in 10.2 overs. Abdul Basit Habib smashed an unbeaten 52 off 24 balls, while Wasim Butt’s quickfire 42 off 25 guided them home comfortably.

KC Budo’s reply never got going. Despite a fighting 44 off 33 from Robert Owili, they were bowled out for 113 in 16.2 overs.
