The Uganda Victoria Pearls maintained their unbeaten streak in the five-match series against Canada with a commanding 43-run victory in the fourth encounter. After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Uganda's innings began cautiously, with their top order managing just 50 runs from the first four wickets. However, a resilient 63-run stand between Rita Musamali (46 not out) and Proscovia Alako (31 not out) propelled the hosts to a competitive total of 113/4 in 20 overs.
Canada's chase faltered under relentless pressure from Uganda's bowlers, who exploited errors in fielding and poor running between the wickets. Kevin Amuge, the standout performer, claimed the first wicket on the third ball of the innings, leaving Canada reeling at 6/3. Despite a brief resistance from some players, Canada could not recover from a collapse that saw them reach 32/5, ultimately finishing at 70/9. Immaculate Nakisuyi (2/6), Kevin Amuge (2/12), Consy Aweko (1/9), and Sarah Tino (1/19) shared the wickets effectively, sealing Uganda's fourth win of the series.
The victory puts Uganda in a strong position to achieve a clean sweep in the final match, with the team now focusing on maintaining their momentum. The series has highlighted Uganda's growing strength, as Canada, despite showing improvement in earlier games, struggled to match the hosts' consistency and tactical discipline.
