Lakeside will be hunting for their first win of the 2022 Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) Premier League season when they host Kenyatta University Pirates at Magadi Primary School in Manyatta, Kisumu on Saturday.

The Kisumu-based club has endured a tough start to the season where they have lost all their opening matches of the new campaign and will be eying for a fresh start when they tip-off at 12.30 pm.

In Nairobi, Zetech University Titans will face off against Thunder from 4 pm as JKUAT Warriors and Kisii Raptors clash in the men's Division One.

In the women's Premier League, Kenyatta University women's outfit Oryx will also be in action against Kisumu Lady Bucks at Magadi Primary in Kisumu from 10 am.

Lady Bucks are also winless into the season and are hoping to get the first win.

Other matches will feature Storms facing Jomo Kenyatta University as Eagle Wings tackle Africa Nazarene University at Nyayo Stadium.
