Everything is still to play for as the Soroti Women’s T20 heads into its final group stage games.
With six teams still in the mix and only four semi-final spots available, the pressure couldn’t be higher.
One last round of fixtures will decide it all, and the race is as tight as it gets.
With teams closely matched on points, net run rate (NRR) could end up being the difference, meaning every run scored or conceded will matter.
Matchday Three Fixtures (Final Group stage Games)
Senior Quarters vs Nakatunya – City Oval (10:00 AM)
Pamba vs Campswahili – Madera Ground (10:00 AM)
Kichinjaji vs Amen – City Oval (2:00 PM)
Kichinjaji (6 pts, +3.185) and Pamba CC (6 pts, +1.481) are best placed.
At the top of the table, Kichinjaji and Pamba CC are level on six points, though Kichinjaji holds the edge courtesy of a superior net run rate.
Both sides have shown consistency so far, winning three of their four matches, and remain firmly in control of their semi-final destiny.
A win for either team not only guarantees qualification but could also secure a favourable top-two finish.
However, a heavy defeat could still open the door for chasing teams, underlining how fine the margins are.
Amen (4 pts, +0.010) controls its destiny.
Victory against Kichinjaji would take them to 6 points and almost certainly secure a semi-final berth. If they lose, Amen will rely on other results and NRR, especially if Nakatunya also wins.
Nakatunya CC (4 pts, -1.701) faces a must-win scenario against Senior Quarters. A victory takes them to 6 points, but their poor NRR means they may still need a convincing margin or favorable results elsewhere, particularly hoping Amen loses heavily.
For Campswahili CC (2 pts, -1.825) and Senior Quarters CC (2 pts, -2.546), the path is narrow but still alive mathematically.
Both teams must win their matches to reach 4 points, then hope Amen and Nakatunya lose.
Even then, qualification would likely come down to a significant NRR swing, requiring big-margin victories.
All eyes will be on the competition’s standout performers as the decisive fixtures unfold.
Malisa Ariokot (155 runs) remains the backbone of Senior Quarters’ batting and could prove decisive in their must-win encounter.
Immaculate Nandera, the top-ranked player (650 points), brings vital all-round stability for Amen, while Mercy Tracy Kongai adds further firepower with the bat.
With the ball, Ruth Ilongu (5 wickets) leads Kichinjaji’s charge and has the ability to swing key moments, supported by strike bowlers Slyvia Awicho and Martha Kulume.
The equation is simple: teams on 6 points are within touching distance of qualification, Amen and Nakatunya must win to stay in control, while Campswahili and Senior Quarters need big victories and favorable results.
With tight margins and NRR in play, every run could define the semi-final line-up.
