West Indies Cricket Team Vs Uganda National Cricket Team Timeline is the best way to predict the match results of WI vs UGA. It give you the clear and best summary of past matches.
Uganda will face yet another formidable test when they take on co-host West Indies after an encouraging victory against PNG, yet another nation that has never played T20Is against Uganda before.
Akeal Hosein took five wickets as Uganda were reduced to 39 runs – their lowest total ever at the T20 World Cup. Only Roger Mukasa and Simon Ssesazi managed more than 13 runs during their innings for Uganda.
Uganda vs West Indies
West Indies Cricket Team comfortably defeated Uganda by 134 runs at Providence Stadium in Guyana during their 2024 T20 World Cup match, thanks to left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein who recorded five wickets to help their two-time defending champions to their second match of this tournament. Uganda had their lowest total ever against Sri Lanka – matching Netherlands’ record low total from 2014.
Windies co-hosts were dominant with both bat and ball on a slow but low pitch. Opener Johnson Charles led with 44 from 42 balls while captain Rovman Powell made 22 not out – both are unbeaten with their innings bringing 173 for five for Windies as a team total.
Uganda faltered quickly in their reply and were bowled out for 39 all out in just 12 overs, matching the lowest T20 World Cup total ever achieved and giving West Indies an easy 134-run victory.
On Wednesday, they’ll face each other again in a group match before playing twice more during the tournament to decide their final standings. The top three teams from each pool will qualify for quarter-finals; winners advancing to semi-finals while runners-up progressing all the way to final.
Caribbean victory would provide them with some much-needed momentum going into Wednesday’s matchup against New Zealand in Trinidad, with Afghanistan currently sitting ahead with two wins from their two contests in Pool.
West Indies captain Jason Mohammed unveiled their squad on Saturday, with some of the region’s leading players like Jason Mohammed, Shai Hope and Andre Russell among its members. Also notable in the squad were wicket-keeper Shane Dowrich as well as fast bowlers Alzari Joseph and Denesh Ramdin who had missed their previous match against Botswana due to injury; their management is led by Jason Mohammed while Phil Simmons coaches them from Sir John Moore’s School in Port of Spain.
Uganda vs PNG
Uganda made history on Monday by winning their maiden World Cup match ever in Guyana with a low-scoring contest that produced no more than seven runs total between them and PNG, but still reached their target with 10 balls left thanks to Riazat Ali Shah’s fighting innings.
Uganda finished their innings well ahead of the run rate at halfway and soon extended it. Aided by some poor fielding from co-hosts and several run outs, Uganda secured victory.
Uganda captain Brian Masaba considers it to be an extraordinary win, believing his team had put in hard work over three or four years to achieve this victory. They used slow pitches effectively while their batsmen put up solid efforts. Finally, Brian credits his bowlers for maintaining tight control against their opposition and keeping scores tight with limited opponents batting well below par scores.
PNG’s openers got off to an impressive start in response to Australia, with both Nicholas Pooran and Sherfane Rutherford hitting boundaries off their opening overs. Unfortunately, however, neither middle order could capitalise on this strong start and so quickly disintegrated as did PNG’s lower order.
PNG had an overwhelming batting lineup composed of left-handed batters with only two right-handed batsmen present – this allowed their right-handed batsmen to move around the park freely while hitting some boundaries – however this wasn’t enough to get close to reaching their target score.
Uganda battled hard during the Powerplay and were at 4-25 when Assad Vala caught and bowled Roger Mukasa leg before off the second ball of the sixth over – nearly ending their chances for a record low total to successfully defend.
Chad Soper was one of the West Indies most economical bowlers and is expected to continue his role. Alei Nao and Akila Dananjaya will likely join him in attack for Uganda; Norman Vanua and Frank Nsubuga could both vie for a spot as batsmen.
Uganda vs Afghanistan
Akeal Hosein delivered his career-best bowling performance for West Indies against Uganda at Providence Stadium on Monday, earning himself man of the match status by taking five wickets – helping put West Indies back in control of their Group C match and helping West Indies triumph by 134 runs. Hosein took home five wickets himself to seal victory for West Indies.
On his very first over, he struck. Roger Mukasa was caught lbw for just one run to begin proceedings, followed by two wickets going down quickly – it quickly became evident that Uganda could not mount any challenge to South African bowling attack.
West Indies batsmen secured victory with late hitting. Johnson Charles struck four balls to 50 and Andre Russell followed suit with 17 unbeaten balls for 30 runs in 17 balls in response. Uganda skipper Brian Masaba and spinners Alpesh Ramjani and Cosmas Kyewuta both recorded three wickets on their bowling efforts, which helped seal West Indies victory.
Afghani openers Gurbaz Zadran and Najibullah Zadran had shown promise early when they posted an opening partnership of 170 runs – the highest ever men’s World Cup partnership ever seen between openers in any tournament history. Unfortunately for Afghanistan though, any hopes of an unlikely comeback from them were dashed when Masaba dismissed Najibullah Zadran for just 76 off 45 balls with 11 fours and five sixes scored by him during that spell.
Fazalhaq Farooqi then struck back and removed Mohammad Nabi with an excellent delivery that hit six in its path across the ground, stunning Simon Ssesazi who tried to sweep but only edged it toward short fine leg, where Fazalhaq Farooqi held on tight for the wicket.
West Indies have amassed an impressive net run-rate advantage over the bottom teams in their pool and look poised to secure a knockout berth. After defeating New Zealand in their opener, they have established an insurmountable advantage against all three opponents in their pool; Uganda have much to gain from their loss against tournament favorites; they must improve both batting and bowling to gain any edge going forward.
Uganda vs New Zealand
New Zealand trounced Uganda by nine wickets at Brian Lara Stadium after winning the toss and electing to field first after winning the toss from Kane Williamson. Their bowlers Tim Southee (3/4), Trent Boult (2/7) and Akeal Hosein (1/5) ensured Uganda batsmen could never establish any foothold in the game.
Ugandan openers Roger Mukasa and Henry Ssenyondo both fell to Hosein in the first over. Ssesenyondo then fell leg before to Rovman Powell in his third ball; more wickets continued to fall regularly thereafter until Sherfane Rutherford and Nicholas Pooran managed to put some respectability onto Uganda’s scorecard with some late cameo performances from Sherfane Rutherford and Pooran respectively.
Beforehand, the Windies made full use of their familiarity with conditions to score 173/5 in 20 overs. Johnson Charles hit 46 from 24 balls while Andre Russell managed an ominous 30 not out. Uganda however failed to capitalize and were all out for only 40 runs in their 20-over innings.
Uganda have now been relegated to the bottom of the table following their loss and will need to win their remaining three matches to have any chance of qualifying for round 2. However, captain Brian Masaba believes playing at the World Cup has been an amazing experience for Uganda’s cricketers, offering them the chance to learn from senior players while also making contacts that could contribute towards Ugandan cricket’s future development. He expressed gratitude towards West Indies fans for providing hospitality during this match.
