After jointly leading the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association (NPCA) Women’s T10 League log on the opening weekend, Kifaru Chargers have finally broken away from their adversaries in awesome fashion.
Led by national team player Esther Wachira, Kifaru dealt Chui Champs a 6-wicket blow on Sunday and Simba Titans by 4 wickets on Saturday to solely sit atop the seven-team competition with 8 points.
In so doing, Kifaru bolstered their chances of claiming the coveted NPCA title, although it’s still early days.
Wachira was declared the player of the match in their match against Chui Champs at Sir Ali Sunday after she smacked a cool 44 off 34 balls, with 7 boundaries to her credit.
Kifaru won the toss and opted to field first. Chui then managed 65 for 3 in 10,0 overs. In reply, Kifaru hit 66 for 4 to carry the day.
Other scorers for Kifaru were Marion Okira (6 off 7 balls), Murti Patel (2 off 5 balls), and Nancy Wabwire (3 off 7 balls).
Veronica Abuga was the star player for Chui after she smacked 32 off 22 balls before she was caught out by Wachira.
Meanwhile, Chui Champs and Duma Strikers tie on 4points but the former has a slight edge on Net Run Rate.
But Kifaru and Chui savor the advantage of having played four matches with Duma Strikers and Farasi Force three apiece.
It will be interesting though to see how the competition pans out, by and large, as the league wears on.
On the bat, competition is stiff with Chui’s Abuga toping 149 runs from 4 innings at an average of 49.67.
Wachira is placed second with 116 runs also from 4 innings at an average of 58.00. Wachira has also made a total of 9 dismissals with 4 catches.
