Capricorn Tri-Series
6th T20 Match
Capricorn Eagles v Victoria Pearls
Uganda 93/3
Namibia 99/5
Namibia won by 5 wickets
The numbers might not tell the whole story but the Victoria Pearls had a decent game until the final 5 overs of the game.
Edelle Van Zyl (27) played a blinder of an inning and completely took the game away from Uganda.
Uganda was asked to bat 1st and despite losing debutant Jimia Mohammed and Kevin Awino early a 48 run partnership between Rita Musamali (27) and Janet Mbabazi (32 not out) pushed the score along to 93/3 in 20 overs.
In defence of their total, Uganda started well, very mean with runs with the Namibians forced to work hard for their runs until Edelle Van Zyl put together a good partnership with Kayleen Green to get Namibia over the line with a ball to spare.
The final of the Tri-Series will be contested by the hosts Namibia who will take on Zimbabwe. The Victoria Pearls return home on Friday morning.
