Preview:
Afghanistan (AFG) will take on Uganda (UGA) in Match 5 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Tuesday, June 4. Afghanistan won their warm-up against Scotland comprehensively by 55 runs and Uganda were thwarted by Namibia in their first warm-up game by five wickets. The Afghans will sense an opportunity to start their tournament on a winning note as the group they are placed in promises a gritty contest going ahead.
Uganda have momentum going into their debut World Cup game. In the last five T20Is, they have won four games in contrast to Afghanistan’s three. But the star-studded Afghanistan team will definitely intimidate the minnows and add World Cup pressure to that euphoria. The Rashid Khan-led side have an edge of having played competitive cricket all over the world while Uganda will take a leaflet out of their successful ACA Africa T20 Cup and Men’s African Games tournaments.
