CRICKET Self-belief, concentration motivated Waiswa ton in Qatar

Lawrence Mahatlane’s charges lost by ten runs in the first ODI but have since bounced back to win the next two outings against the gulf state.

Kenneth Waiswa is one of many Cricket Cranes players who felt the need to put up a better display after the team’s first loss at the ongoing four one-day international series with Qatar at the Doha University of Science and Technology.

Lawrence Mahatlane’s charges lost by ten runs in the first ODI but have since bounced back to win the next two outings against the gulf state.

Waiswa's unbeaten 101 off 96 balls with 11 boundaries and two sixes in the third game enabled the Cricket Cranes to pick up a 138-run victory against Qatar.

“Basically, for me, it has been about converting; I just told myself to enjoy myself and keep playing because I wanted to contribute to the team,” Waiswa told Pulse Sports.

“It’s been a while ever since I put up such a performance, so I feel good; now the focus shifts to our last game, which we want to win as well.”

The 24-year-old will be expected to replicate his performance from the previous game to help the Cricket Cranes wrap up the Qatar tour on a winning note.

The Cricket Cranes will have a day off on Monday before returning to the crease on Tuesday to complete the tour.
