TEAMS PREVIEW
Uganda Preview
Uganda's dominance in the Africa Continental Cup continues as they maintain their perfect record with four straight victories. Leading the standings with 8 points, they're riding high after demolishing Rwanda in their latest outing. Their commanding performance saw them put up 151-8 before rolling Rwanda over for a mere 65, securing an emphatic 86-run victory.
Uganda’s batting has been led by Robinson Obuya, who has racked up 141 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 145. Raghav Dhawan, Riazat Ali Shah, and Cosmas Kyewuta haven’t plundered loads of runs but they are solid options who can hold the innings together and keep ticking the scoreboard.
Another important contributor has been all-rounder Alpesh Ramjani. He has chipped in with valuable runs lower down the order and has also taken 8 wickets at an economy of just 3.85.
Henry Ssenyondo, Dinesh Nakrani, and Juma Miyagi add more depth and variety to this bowling unit.
Uganda Predicted Playing XI:
