UGA vs NIG Match Prediction & Analysis
The table-toppers will come head to head in the 14th fixture of the Africa Continental Cup 2024 at the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium in Kigali. This is going to be the third fixture between the two sides in this tournament. Uganda has remained unbeaten in this competition and have taken down Nigeria successfully twice. On the flipside, Nigeria has not had any luck against Uganda and are yet to beat them in any format in international cricket.
As far as the standings are concerned, the two teams are not so far behind each other. Uganda have won six in a row and are sitting at the top of the three with a super-looking NRR of 4.305. Nigeria on the other hand, have mustered only two wins, one against Rwanda and one against Botswana. But it is their NRR of -0.494 that keeps them afloat from the rest at number two.
Head-to-head record: Nigeria are yet to break their losing streak against Uganda in international cricket. The two teams have played 8 matches, and all of them have been convincingly won by Uganda.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Uganda Preview
Uganda have been unstoppable in this year’s Africa Continental Cup. The highs of the 2024 T20 World Cup have not deserted them as the team continues to reach new heights. They are in the middle of an unbeaten six-match winning streak and remain undefeated thus far in this closely-contested tournament. Moreover, their superior win record against Nigeria makes them a very lethal team to contend with.
Uganda made headlines in their very recent clash with Botswana by recording the highest-ever total of 229-3 in this competition. Ssesazi and Mangela launched a scathing attack on the weakened Botswana bowlers to mount such a colossal total. The team certainly has bold ambitions and in all likelihood is aiming for the title.
Obuya is the highest run scorer of the Africa Continental Cup and has smashed two half-centuries thus far. His average of 41.6 is currently the best achieved by any batter while his strike rate of nearly 150 is enough to stoke fear in the minds of the bowlers. Ssesazi and Mangela starred with the bat for Uganda in their last encounter scoring a blistering 69 and 70.
The duo are in lethal form with the bat and are striking it well over 150. Ssenyondo, Ramjani, Nsubuga, and Nakrani are topping the wicket chart for Uganda with 15, 10, 9, & 8 wickets respectively. They have done wonders for Uganda in this competition and have had a resounding success with the ball going at well below 6 RPO. l

Nigeria Preview
Nigeria were impressive in their first two encounters of the tournament against Rwanda and Botswana. But a series of 4 consecutive defeats in their following fixtures have derailed the team to a greater extent. Besides, time and again, Uganda have proven to be their nemesis and this fixture will be no different for them. The team desperately continues to search for their maiden win against Uganda in world cricket.
A fairly average bowling performance despite a steady innings of 41 (33) from Okpe led to their downfall in the last game as Rwanda managed to chase down a fairly tricky target of 152 with an over to spare. The team is in urgent need of a win in this fixture to get their campaign back on track.
Salau has been a prolific run-scorer for Nigeria and is currently the third-highest in this competition averaging 27.5 with 165 runs to his name while the skipper Okpe isn’t too far behind and averages nearly 30 with a strike rate of 140.47.
Nigeria Predicted Playing XI:
Selim Salau, Miracle Akhigbe, Isaac Danladi, Sulaimon Runsewe (wk), Ridwan Abdulkareem, Peter Aho, Mohameed Taiwo, Isaac Okpe ©, Vincent Adewoye, Sylvester Okpe, Ifeanyichukwu Uboh

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The forecast for tomorrow's game in Kigali indicates overcast and somewhat dreary weather, with a moderate likelihood of scattered showers at 20%. Throughout the day, temperatures are expected to range from 25°C to 17°C, while humidity levels may reach as high as 70%. Moreover, we expect a slow wind speed of roughly 6 km/hr to be present throughout the match day.
UGA vs NIG Pitch Report
The playing surface at Gahanga International Cricket Stadium provides significant pace and bounce. Batters can accumulate runs effectively once they acclimate to the conditions. In the initial innings, the surface remains firm and relatively even, making it a favorable choice for teams batting first. The 200-run threshold has been sured on one occasion during the tournament, with several teams narrowly missing that mark. This serves as an indication that the aggressive hitters can thrive on this wicket once they see off the new ball and spend enough in the middle. The average 1st innings score in the 12 matches played in the tournament is 153 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
So far in the 12 matches played in the African Continental T20 Cup teams batting first won five and the team bowling first won seven matches. Teams chasing have had a better record in the recent games, with the surface getting better in the later stages of the game, the team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.
UGA vs NIG
Winning Prediction
Uganda enter this fixture as an obvious favorite. They have been undefeated so far against Nigeria in all their 8 T20I fixtures. Besides, they have also not been beaten by any side in this tournament and are in the midst of a dominant winning streak. With six consecutive wins in this tournament, we expect Nigeria to have a hard time against a side that is yet to concede a defeat against them in international cricket.
Uganda to Win!
