TANZANIA's senior national cricket team has notched its first point in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Challenge League B following a downpour that halted the team's tie versus Singapore on Wednesday.

The clash, which was held at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala, was declared a no result given Singapore could not bat following the rains. The two, for that matter, ended with a point apiece.

Despite the weather challenges, a Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA) official disclosed, the senior cricketers put up a strong fight when they took the crease.

Promising batsman Ivan Ismail cracked a brilliant half-century off just 45 balls.

Tanzania went on to reach 100/3 in 14 overs before heavy rain halted the match.

Unfortunately, with the downpour making play impossible, the two teams ended up sharing the points.

The official urged Tanzania's cricket fanatics to celebrate the solid batting performance and keep supporting the team's cricketers as they continue to battle spiritedly in the showdown.

Ismail, therefore, made up for a rather shaky batting showing the cricketer staged in the previous two games.

The other up-and-coming performer, Mohamed Omary, also made his presence count with an equally solid performance against Singapore.

Omary made his way back with 26 runs, whilst cracking three fours. 

Tanzania has somehow scaled up the showdown table after the clash, pushing Singapore to the bottom of the tournament.

Tournament hosts and favourites Uganda leads the showdown table after notching a 2.7247 Net Run Rate (NRR), having emerged victorious in three encounters.

The tournament leader has registered 629 runs and given away 329 runs in the three clashes.

Second-placed Italy has collected the 1.5662 NRR having secured victory in two outings and succumbed to loss in one tie.

The two teams had, before confronting each other, so far been the competitors boasting unbeaten stretch in the showdown.

Hong Kong is occupying third place after amassing the -1.1175 NRR, having come out victorious in two clashes and lost one tie.

Fourth-placed Bahrain has collected the 0.2740 NRR following a victory in one game, a loss in another, and one clash with no result. 

The team has taken part in three ties, as a result, it has a match in hand.

Fourth-placed Tanzania, which has yet to garner a victory in four games, has notched the -1.4263 NRR.

Bottom-placed Singapore has as well yet to register a victory in the tournament, managing a -2.2482 NRR.
