Uganda X-Factor
Looking at team UGA vs AFG match 5 of T20 World Cup 2024, Uganda’s hopes were shattered when they lost their top 5 wickets in less than 5 overs. Afghanistan’s pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi took on Uganda’s opener Ronak Patel and Simon Simon Ssesazi. Only Riazat Ali Shah (11) and Robinson Obuya (14) are the highest runscorer against Afghanistan. However, Team Uganda sure has a class in bowlers including Brian Masaba (2/21), Cosmas Kyewuta (2/25), and Alpesh Ramjani (1/33). They sure narrowed down the run stream of Afghanistan, stopping at 183 otherwise margin would be huge if the target was 200 plus.
