The highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 match between Uganda and Afghanistan is finally here. Ugandan captain Brian Masaba has won the toss and opted to bowl first against the impressive Afghanistan team led by spin sensation Rashid Khan. With Uganda making their way to the tournament as underdogs, all eyes will be on the team featuring one of the oldest players, 43-year-old Frank Nsubuga. Expect spin to play a major role in this match as the competition takes place on one of the most spin-friendly venues in the West Indies.
Uganda's national cricket team, the Cricket Cranes, has been placed in Group C for the 2024 ICC T20 Men's World Cup alongside hosts West Indies, New Zealand, Afghanistan, and Papua New Guinea. Despite their opponents being higher ranked, Uganda coach Jackson Ogwang remains optimistic and believes that with careful preparation, they can cause major upsets in the tournament. The T20 World Cup, which will feature 20 teams, is scheduled to take place in the United States and West Indies from June 4-30, 2024.
