Kenya lost by 15 runs to the UAE in their opening match at the Lugogo Sports Oval after winning the toss and electing to field.
The national women’s cricket team captain, Sharon Juma insists that the batting of the team let them down as the side lost to the UAE by 15 runs at the ongoing Victoria Tri-Series taking place in Kampala, Uganda.
“Our strategy was to field first and contain them to 80 runs in a worst-case scenario,” she said,” I think we bowled well as well as in our fielding,” she added.
“Our batters really let us down, me included. It was not the right time for me to come out. We thought we could get that game with overs to spare but unfortunately, it happened. It’s cricket.
“We have to improve on our batting. We have to stick to wickets,” she added.
