CRICKET Uganda into the semi-finals of the T20 Women's World Cup qualifiers
In defeating Namibia by four wickets on Tuesday, the Victoria Pearls were picking their second win in as many games.
Skipper Consy Aweko yet again led by example, as she managed 3/16 in four overs.
This was supplemented by the impressive Evelyn Anyipo and Sarah Akiteng, who secured two wickets apiece.
In spite of the fall that came with Kevin Awino and Proscovia Alako's 36 runs in nine overs during the chase, it didn't phase the Victoria Pearls, who needed just half a run per over.
