Cricket Cranes beat Rwanda by 64 runs at Gahanga Cricket Stadium in Kigali on Wednesday to make it three wins from three at the ILT20 Continental Cup.
Anas Mirza Baig announced himself with a superb maiden T20I half-century after a difficult start to his tour.
The son of former captain Akbar Baig smashed 66 from just 36 balls with five fours and five sixes at a strike rate of 183.33.
Baig also claimed the Man of Match award for his all-round character show.
Robinson Obuya provided the perfect foil with 25 off 17 before a controversial leg before wicket dismissal appeared to hit bat first.
Gerald Olipa kept the momentum with 45 from 32 balls while captain Riazat Ali Shah added a brisk 29 from 18 deliveries.
Cosmas Kyewuta then produced a trademark finish of 18 from four balls including three sixes to lift Uganda to 198 for nine.
Kyewuta led the bowlers with three for 20 combining pace and aggression to break Rwanda's top order.
Left-arm spinner Matthew Musinguzi worked through the middle overs claiming three for 23 while Joseph Baguma matched him with three for 20.
The trio operated in tandem to dismiss Rwanda for 134 in 18.5 overs and seal another convincing victory.
Uganda now face fellow unbeaten side Kenya on Saturday in a winner-takes-all clash for top spot in the first round.
