    The Western Bulls confronted Rwanda Emerging in the subsequent match, where the latter’s exceptional bowling restricted the Bulls to a mere 44/9. Rwanda Emerging chased down the target with composure, clinching victory with 6 wickets in hand, a triumph earned with style.

    In the day’s final showdown, Central Rhinos exhibited their mettle by defending their score of 88/6 against Rwanda Emerging, who managed 77/8 within their 10 overs. Central Rhinos’ 11-run triumph highlighted their capability to thrive under pressure.
