Skipper Barbara Mukankusi is pumping up the volume amongst her Ugandan teammates as the seek to wrap up the Kenya Tour on a high today at Ruaraka Sports Club Oval in Nairobi.
When Kenya toured Uganda in September, the hosts took a series lead only for Kenya to bounce back with three victories in the T20 format. And Mukankusi is now preaching focus after her team took a 2-0 lead at Peponi School Oval on Friday.
“We are not repeating the same mistakes we did then,” the skipper told Sunday Monitor. “We undermined them in Kampala and paid the price. But there is no room for error here (Kenya).”
Mukankusi with 47 runs, Scovia Akello with 28 in the first game and Gloria Adubu with 13 runs and an unbelievable return of three wickets for two runs were the architects of Friday’s two wins.
