Uganda began the tournament with a massive win over Kenya.
Preview
UGA vs GHA will clash against each other in the 8th game of the African Games T20 tournament. It has been a whirlwind start to the tournament as South Africa, in particular, played like true champions. Ghana didn’t have a great start, as the hosts could only see the South African batter cause carnage with the bat.
Uganda (UGA) began the tournament with a massive win over Kenya to show their rising status in World Cricket. The 72-run win was possible because of the fantastic bowling resources that Uganda have at their disposal.
Ghana (GHA) saw their inexperience come into play against the South African side. The bowlers were smashed to all parts of the ground. With the bat, none of the Ghana players could put up a decent total on the board.

Captains: 8.5
Alpesh Ramjani UGA | all
The 29-year-old left-arm spinner was the best bowler for Uganda during their huge win against Kenya on Sunday. With figures of 4/17 from his 3.4 overs Alpesh Ramjani was the biggest difference maker of the day. His ability to bowl variations and beat batters in flight had the Kenyans in a huge spot of bother.
Dinesh Nakrani UGA | all
Uganda’s innings got a huge push towards the back end thanks to the aggressive hitting by Dinesh Nakrani. The 32-year-old scored 43 runs from just 23 balls aided with 3 fours and equal number of sixes. The batter who is originally from Kutch gave good impetus to the Uganda innings and helped it end on a high.
Roger Mukasa UGA | WK
Uganda’s opener, Roger Mukasa, was the batter for his side with an amazing knock of 59 from just 45 balls. The 34-year-old mixed caution and aggression towards the early part of the innings to reach his 4th T20 fifty for his national side.
James Vifah GHANA | BAT
The only positive for the Ghana side was the form of opener James Vifah. The right-handed batter was taking the attack to the South African bowlers in a huge chase. While the target was steep Vifah was giving his home fans plenty to cheer about with his 41 run knock.
Bilal Hassan UGA | bowl
Pakistan born Bilal Hassan proved to be miserly with the ball as he picked 2/14 from his 3 overs. The pacer was the reason for Uganda to beat Kenya by such a huge margin. His time wicket of Rakep Patel helped the tide turn towards his side and win the game.
Kenneth Waiswa UGA | bat
Young Kenneth Waiswa is a budding all-rounder from Uganda. His 25 runs from 24 balls with the bat helped bring his team back into the contest after losing two early wickets. With the ball the medium pacer got the wicket of Shem Ngoche as he gave away 18 runs from his 3 overs.
