The tournament, which provided points for the International Cricket Council (ICC) monthly rankings, saw Uganda defeat Nigeria by six wickets in the final.
Nigeria, having won the toss, opted to bat first and aimed for a high score. However, Uganda's bowlers dominated, dismissing Nigeria for just 89 runs after 17.3 overs.
In their chase, Uganda proved their prowess, surpassing the target in just 17.2 overs with six wickets remaining.
Key contributions came from Riazat Ali Shah and Henry Senyondo, who played pivotal roles in Uganda's victory. Uganda ended the tournament unbeaten, winning all 10 of their matches, including games against Nigeria, Botswana, Uganda, and Rwanda.
Riazat Ali Shah was named Player of the Tournament for his exceptional performance at the international Gahanga Cricket Ground. Last year, Uganda also emerged victorious in Nairobi, defeating Kenya in the final.
