The Cricket Uganda Men’s 50-Over League 2026 heads into Matchday Two with redemption battles, fresh rivalries, and first-time clashes taking centre stage across the Silver and Bronze categories.
Notably, there will be no Gold Category fixtures this weekend as teams continue their early-season campaigns.
SATURDAY – MARCH 7th, 2026
Mukono Development vs Jinja SS – Jinja SS Cricket Oval (Bronze Category, Group A)
Mukono Development travel to Jinja to face Jinja SS in their first-ever meeting in Bronze Group A.
Mukono endured a difficult start to the season at Florida Cricket Oval where they were bowled out for 99/9 while chasing 141 against Centurion CC.
Brian Mark Masaba starred with both bat and ball for Centurion, scoring 34 and claiming 3/21, while Ali Balidawa also picked up 3/21 to guide Centurion to a comfortable 41-run victory.
Jinja SS, on the other hand, began their campaign with a walkover after Premier CC forfeited their opening fixture.
Mukono Development are currently in talks to include Jaffer Ochaya, recently released by Wanderers CC, although his availability remains uncertain.
Mukono will be eager to bounce back from their opening defeat, while Jinja SS aim to convert their early advantage into a convincing on-field performance.
SUNDAY – MARCH 8th, 2026
SKLPS vs Ismaili – Lugogo Cricket Oval (Silver Category)
In the Silver Category, SKLPS come into action after missing Matchday One to face an in-form Ismaili Community side.
Ismaili began their campaign in dominant fashion, defeating Avengers CC by 151 runs.
Captain Riazat Ali Shah led the charge with a sensational 159 off 97 balls, while Kamran Wali Khan added 60 as Ismaili posted 276/5 before restricting Avengers to 125/9.
These two teams last met in the 2025 Men’s 50-Over League Championship on June 8, 2025, where SKLPS secured a dramatic one-wicket victory in a tense finish.
In that match, Ismaili were bowled out for 168 in 34.3 overs with Junaid Khan scoring 44 and Ali Dishan adding 40, while Dinesh Manji Vekariya claimed 4/36.
SKLPS eventually reached 169/9 in 44.2 overs to clinch the narrow win.
The result mirrored their previous meeting the season before, where SKLPS also edged Ismaili by a single wicket.
With that history in mind, revenge will certainly be on the minds of the Ismaili players heading into this clash.
Pak Shaheens vs Kifaru – Florida Cricket Oval (Bronze Category, Group B)
Pak Shaheens make their season debut against Kifaru at Florida Cricket Oval in what promises to be a competitive Bronze Group B contest.
Kifaru currently sit at the top of the group after a dominant performance on Matchday One, where they thrashed Africa Cricket Club by 224 runs (D/L).
Devansh Patel was the star of the show, smashing a brilliant 127 to power Kifaru to a commanding victory.
Pak Shaheens, who did not feature on Matchday One, have strengthened their squad significantly ahead of their opening game.
Former Uganda Under-19 leg spinner Simon Okecho has joined the side alongside several former Wanderers players including Abu Sseguya, Abdul Basit Habib, Wassim Butt, and Raheel Sarwar.
The squad is further boosted by the arrival of Robert Owill from KC Budo.
With Kifaru aiming to maintain their perfect start and Pak Shaheens eager to make a strong first impression, this encounter could prove to be one of the most intriguing fixtures of the weekend.
FINAL WORD
Matchday Two promises a blend of redemption, rivalry, and new matchups as teams begin to shape their early-season ambitions.
Sides recovering from opening defeats will be determined to bounce back, while those carrying early momentum will aim to consolidate their positions.
As the Cricket Uganda Men’s 50-Over League continues, the 2026 season is already delivering drama, emerging talent, and fiercely contested cricket across the divisions.
