They secured several hard-fought wins, demonstrating resilience and skill both in batting and bowling departments. Key players like Immaculate Nakisuuyi and Rita Musamali have been instrumental in the team’s success, contributing significant runs and crucial wickets.
Recent changes in the Uganda women’s squad include the introduction of promising all-rounders and bowlers, such as Immaculate Nakisuuyi (1358 runs and 54 wickets) and Sarah Walaza (17 wickets), who have been impressive in domestic and regional competitions. The team has also maintained the presence of seasoned players like Janet Mbabazi (1336 runs and 114 wickets) and Kevin Awino (968), who provide valuable leadership and experience. This strategic blend aims to ensure flexibility in team selection and the ability to adapt to different match situations, particularly against a strong Canadian side.
