Two days ago, a team won the match by scoring 61 runs in 11 balls. If such a performance in batting has surprised you, then you will not believe your eyes after reading the innings that we are going to tell you about.

Not only this, this double century led to an astonishing victory of 291 runs.

This double century was not scored by any batsman from India, Australia, West Indies, England or South Africa, but this astonishing display of stormy batting was presented by Uganda's Olipa Gerald, that too at the age of just 16. Are you surprised? But this is true and it happened in Uganda in the Nile Region School League Qualifier match. Olipa created a stir by scoring a blistering 204 runs in this match, out of which 176 runs came in fours and sixes.

Olipa wreaked havoc

Let us explain in a little more detail. In this qualifier match, Busoga College Mwiri batted first and opener Olipa created havoc as soon as she came. Olipa rained sixes and fours, destroying the bowlers of Jinja College. This batsman hit a brilliant double century by hitting 20 fours and 16 sixes in his innings and scored 204 runs in just 75 balls. No bowler of Jinja College was able to dismiss him. Now if such an innings is played then the score of the team will also be big. This is what happened. Busoga College scored a huge score of 323 runs in 20 overs. The second biggest score after Olipa was 53 runs, which came through extras.

Eric's bowling shines again

If one team played such explosive batting, then the other team would have expected a similar response. Jinja College would also have expected the same from itself but what happened was beyond anyone's imagination. Busoga's bowlers did not allow Jinja's batsmen to stay and bowled out the entire team for just 32 runs. Yes, just 32 runs. In this too, 7 batsmen could not even open their account. If Olipa wreaked havoc in batting, Mukisa Eric spread magic with bowling. This bowler created history by giving the team a resounding victory by 291 runs, giving away just 3 runs in 3.3 overs and taking 8 wickets.
