TANDIA, MUSINGUZI, SSESAZI LEAD STANDOUTS AFTER DAY FOUR MAXX T20 BATTLES
MAXX T20 Day 4 was packed with drama: The Royals won a rain-affected thriller, and the Gladiators secured a key victory thanks to Tandia's historic bowling spell.
Day Four of the MAXX T20 Challenge Cup had plenty of drama, both because of the rain and the tough competition.
The Gladiators, who haven't lost a game yet, really stood out. Aziz Abdul Tandia bowled amazingly, getting 5 wickets for just 4 runs against the Strikers. Then, Paul Mulongo played a smart innings, leading his team to a win.
Before that, the Royals and the Blasters had a game messed up by rain. Still, the Royals managed to win. It showed that being able to adjust when things get difficult is just as important as playing great individually.
Blasters vs. Royals – Morning Game
Toss: Blasters chose to bat first.
Blasters: 116/5 in 17 overs (game shortened by rain)
Royals: 91/5 in 10.5 overs (Duckworth-Lewis method)
Result: Royals won by 5 wickets (D/L)
A bit of rain in the morning made the game shorter, only 18 overs per side. Then, more rain during the first innings cut it down to 17 overs. The Royals then had to chase a revised target in just 12 overs, using the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Jonathan Ssebanja played really well for the Blasters, scoring 43 not out off 28 balls.
Anas Baig helped out with 37 off 30, pushing the team to 116/5 in 17 overs. Mathew Musinguzi (3/17) and Yashashvi Joshi (2/19) bowled well.
The Royals needed 91 runs from 12 overs because of the rain rule, and they started strong.
Simon Ssesazi hit 48 off 34 (with 5 fours and 1 six), and Abraiz Mir Ali added 26 off 20.
They made a 42-run partnership off 27 balls.
Ali Balidawa gave away 16 runs in the eighth over, which was a turning point. The Royals then only needed 16 runs from 24 balls.
The Royals missed a few catches, but Peter Ochen finally caught one, stopping Ssesazi from getting to fifty by just two runs.
The Royals reached the target in 10.5 overs at 91/5, winning by five wickets (D/L).
Player of the Match: Mathew Musinguzi
3/16 in 4 overs
Strikers vs Gladiators – Afternoon Game
Toss: Gladiators chose to bowl first
Strikers: 82 all out in 14 overs
Gladiators: 83/6 in 14.1 overs
Result: Gladiators won by 4 wickets
Rain delayed the Strikers and Gladiators game, so it was reduced to 15 overs per side.
The Gladiators’ choice to bowl first worked great.
Robinson Obuya, the Strikers’ captain for the day, played well with 33 off 25, and Fortunate Alijuna made 25 off 19.
But after their partnership ended, the innings fell apart. The score went from 70/2 to 79/7 by the 13th over.
Edwin Nuwagaba got a wicket on his first ball and only gave away one run in that over.
Aziz Abdul Tandia then bowled incredibly, destroying the Strikers’ middle and lower order and getting them all out for 82 in 14 overs.
The Gladiators had a tough time chasing 83, falling to 31/5 because of good bowling from Sowobi and Munigwa.
Paul Mulongo played a key role with 39 off 28, supported by Edwin Nuwagaba (15) and Jonathan Kizza (9*).
With three runs needed in the final over, Mulongo hit a boundary to win the game by four wickets at 83/6 in 14.1 overs.
Player of the Match: Aziz Abdul Tandia
5/4 in 3 overs (1 maiden, econ 1.33)
Tournament Standouts After Four Days
Most runs: Simon Ssesazi – 184 runs (highest score of the tournament: 90)
Most wickets: Mathew Musinguzi – 8 wickets
Best bowling: Aziz Abdul Tandia – 5/4
In eight games, teams have scored 1,957 runs, taken 118 wickets, hit 129 fours, and smashed 45 sixes.
Highest team score: Blasters – 170/8
Lowest team score: Strikers – 82 all out
Tomorrow, the Warriors play the Titans in the morning, and the Blasters face the Gladiators in the afternoon.
Every team still has a chance to win, and the games have been very exciting. The next matches should be just as thrilling.
LIFE AFTER OKELLO: HOW ABDULKARIM WATAMBALA BECAME VIPERS' NEW MIDFIELD COMMANDER
Vipers SC dismantled Police FC 4-1 at Kitende, led by a stunning AbdulKarim Watambala goal to extend their lead at the UPL summit.
Vipers came out flying, up 3-0 by halftime against a stunned Police squad. Once again, AbdulKarim Watambala pulled the strings in midfield, making everything tick.
With this 4-1 thumping at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Vipers held onto their three-point lead at the top of the Startimes Uganda Premier League heading into the last games of the first round.
Honestly, what was supposed to be a top-of-the-table clash turned into a breeze for the defending champions. They probably played their best half of football since Ivan Minnaert took over as head coach last July.
Watambala, who’s looked like a new man since his close friend Allan Okello left, set up the opener for Milton Karisa with a clever through ball. Karisa made no mistake, poking the ball past a scrambling Mathias Muwanga in the 32nd minute.
Then came the moment of the night. Watambala picked up a pass from Enoch Ssebagala just outside the box, and with police defenders backing off, he smashed a rocket in off the underside of the crossbar. That was his third goal in two games, after his brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over URA.
Right before halftime, Odili Chukwuma put the game to bed, heading in Usama Arafat’s cross after nutmegging Richard Matovu.
Police barely threatened all evening, but Saidi Kyeyune managed to pull one back with a low shot just four minutes into the second half. It didn’t matter much. Vipers stretched their lead again in the 77th minute, when substitute Yunus Sentamu headed the ball across for Usama to tap in their fourth.
The win pushes the Vipers to 33 points. Police drop to third with 27. KCCA move into second place after brushing aside UPDF 4-0. Sammy Ssebaduka grabbed two goals, with Joel Sserunjogi and substitute Alpha Ssali also on the scoresheet.
UPL UPDATES: KCCA FC HELD IN LUZIRA WHILE POLICE FC CLOSE THE GAP AT TOP
Police FC move to second after beating Calvary, while KCCA is held to a goalless draw by Maroons in a rusty MD13 clash.
After beating Calvary, Police moved up to second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. KCCA didn't score against Maroons, and Entebbe UPPC beat UPDF, keeping the title race close on match day 13.
Police grabbed second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after a 2-0 win against Calvary at Kiira Road on Wednesday.
Breaks during the season are usually a time for teams to regroup and let players rest after many games in a short time. But for the Uganda Premier League, there hasn't been much going on since mid-December, partly because of the 2025 AFCON.
Today's game between Maroons and KCCA in Luzira was different. Both teams seemed out of practice, which might explain the dull game that ended with no score.
Neither team seemed ready to push for a win, and there were few chances to score.
KCCA and Maroons each played one game between December 17 and today, losing to Police and Buhimba United Saints, respectively. That's just one game in 35 days.
Maroons played a physical game, preventing KCCA from controlling the ball and playing their usual style. This could be why coach Brian Ssenyondo took out Ashraf Mugume and Saidi Mayanja at halftime, replacing them with Brian Jjara and Derrick Nsibambi.
The home team kept KCCA away from the goal, and even when they brought in another striker, Emmanuel Anyama, later in the second half, they didn't get many chances.
Maroons defended well as a team to earn a point, putting them in seventh place with 16 points.
For KCCA FC, this result is a setback in their chase for the title. They are tied for first place with 27 points, the same as Police, who beat Calvary FC, and Vipers, who have two games left.
Wednesday's results:
Maroons 0-0 KCCA
Police 2-0 Calvary
UPDF 0-1 Entebbe UPPC
