ARE YOU READY: JINJA GEARS UP FOR BATBALL X SEASON 2 ACTION START
The BATBALL Program Season 2 kicks off with the Jinja T10 from Nov 27-30. Four U-22 teams will compete in a fast-paced tournament, broadcast globally, to develop Uganda's next cricket stars.
The much-anticipated second season of the BATBALL Program is set to kick off, featuring the BATBALL X Jinja T10 from November 27 to 30, 2025, at the Jinja SSS Cricket Oval.
This tournament, co-hosted by Batball Uganda Limited and the Jinja Association of Cricket Clubs (JACC), marks an exciting new chapter in the initiative.
Four vibrant U-22 teams will compete in the fast-paced T10 format, aligning with Batball's objective to prepare Uganda's youth for high-stakes cricket that is broadcast internationally.
Building on the success of the inaugural season in 2023, where the Central Rhinos triumphed over Rwanda’s Emerging Team, players are eager to carry forward the momentum that led to the advancement of sixteen young athletes to the BATBALL MAXX, an international franchise tournament that will be streamed globally in early 2025.
Aakarshit Madaan, CEO of BATBALL Uganda, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season, acknowledging the steadfast support from Cricket Uganda.
He emphasised that allowing U-22 players allows university students, A-team hopefuls, and emerging talents to gain essential visibility.
"By collaborating with Cricket Uganda, we are establishing a more robust connection between youth and senior cricket."
He remarked, underscoring the readiness for international competition.
This year’s lineup introduces an invigorated group consisting of the Leopards, Bulls, Elephants, and Rhinos, all prepared for an intense double round-robin contest.
Each team will compete against one another twice before advancing to the semi-finals, a third-place match, and the championship showdown.
Over the course of four thrilling days, 16 matches will be broadcast live across the globe.
With teams composed of 14 players supported by dedicated coaches and managers, the tournament is heavily influenced by standout participants from the 2025 Boys Schools Cricket Week, along with Cricket Uganda’s extensive development framework.
Development Manager Davis Turinawe lauded the U-22 initiative as a vital move toward connecting school-level cricket with higher competitive tiers.
After the Jinja tournament, the season will proceed with the BATBALL MAXX Qualifier and conclude with the signature BATBALL MAXX tournament, promising even more excitement to come.
PROSCOVIA ALAKO SHINES, UGANDA VICTORIA PEARLS FALLS SHORT AGAINST DETERMINED DUTCH
Uganda Victoria Pearls lost to the Netherlands in the Emerging Nations Cup but showed potential with their best batting performance (111/6). They finished sixth overall.
The Uganda Victoria Pearls couldn't quite clinch a victory against the Netherlands, who were determined to win the Emerging Nations Cup.
Even though they lost, the Victoria Pearls can be proud of their best batting performance in the whole tournament. Uganda kept the same team lineup as before. The Dutch won the coin toss and chose to let Uganda bat first.
Esther Iloku was out quickly. Captain Janet Mbabazi seemed to be playing well, but she was unfortunately dismissed when a ball rolled onto her stumps. By the end of the power play, Uganda was at 26/2.
Proscovia Alako (34 not out) and Stephanie Nampiina (21) helped Uganda make good progress. Alako scored 19 runs in the last over, pushing the total to 111/6 in 20 overs.
During the chase, the Dutch team started aggressively. Kevin Amuge made a breakthrough in the first over but then allowed two boundaries.
Consy Aweko also took a wicket, but that was all the Victoria Pearls could manage. The Netherlands scored 51 during the power play, with Babette De Leede (17) and Sterre Kallis (32) putting pressure on the Ugandan bowlers.
Even with two more wickets falling, the Dutch secured the win in under 15 overs. This fifth win secured them a spot in the top four at the tournament.
The Victoria Pearls batted well, but it wasn't enough. They showed some promise, hinting at the team's potential. Alako displayed her hitting abilities, with especially strong ground strokes at the end.
Uganda ended the tournament with two wins and finished in sixth place, just ahead of the other two African teams. This shows they still have much to improve to catch up with the other teams.
This event happens every year, and when it returns in 2026, they should have learned from their mistakes and be ready to get more wins. The losses against the top teams showed them how much work they need to do to close the gap. A lot has been done with the team, but there's still more to do.
UGANDA PREMIER LEAGUE: VIPERS, VILLA BATTLE TO FIERCE 1-1 DRAW

Vipers and SC Villa fought to a 1-1 draw on Saturday at St. Mary's Stadium in Kitende. Both teams seemed okay with a point, even though it stopped Villa's five-game win streak. Now, they're tied with KCCA at the top with 17 points.
Vipers are also moving up, sitting in fourth place. Their own winning streak ended at four, leaving them with 13 points, but they have three games in hand.
Villa could have scored early when Hassan Mubiru stole the ball from Vipers' Kevin DaSylva Bady. But instead of shooting, he passed, and the chance was wasted.
Vipers had a chance too, but Villa's goalie, David Lukwago, saved Karim Watambala's shot.
The first half didn't have many exciting moments. Villa couldn't capitalise on Vipers' struggles to move the ball out of their own end under Villa's pressure.
Later, Vipers' Yunus Sentamu shot wide when passing might have been the better choice.
The game picked up in the second half. Villa went ahead in the 68th minute when Frank Ssebuufu headed in a cross.
But the Vipers tied it up five minutes later. Okello passed to Usama Arafat, who scored the equaliser.
Late in the game, Villa's Sula Matovu was sent off for arguing with the referee, who had a tough day, along with her assistants.
