Afghanistan vs Uganda Predictions
Afghanistan beat Ireland 2-1 and lost 2-1 to Sri Lanka in recent T20I series. Uganda came third in the recent African Games, but they will be no match for an Afghanistan side that is captained by Rashid Khan.
- Afghanistan’s Gulbadin Naib top-scored with 69 off 30 balls in the warmup against Scotland.
- Afghanistan’s Azmatullah Omarzai scored 48 off 36 balls against Scotland.
- Uganda’s Roger Mukasa scored 41, 35, 25 & 51* in his last 5 innings.
- Uganda’s Simon Ssesazi hit five sixes in his 66 off 44 balls against Kenya.
Head-to-Head
This will be the first meeting between the two teams.
Afghanistan Form
Afghanistan have enjoyed good success against strong opposition in T20Is this year, and they won their World Cup warmup match against Scotland by 55 runs.
Gulbadin Naib (69 off 30 balls) and Azmatullah Omarzai (48 off 36) gave Afghanistan the foundation to post 178/8 off their 20 overs.
Afghanistan ran through Scotland’s top order, reducing them to 59/6 before ending on 123/9 off their 20 overs. Karim Janat (2/13, econ 6.5) was the pick of the Afghanistan bowlers.
Afghanistan Team News
Afghanistan are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. They are likely to beat Uganda by 50-plus runs.
Uganda Form
Uganda battled in their two warmup matches ahead of the World Cup.
They lost to Namibia by five wickets after being restricted to 134/8 off their 20 overs. Roger Mukasa top-scored for Uganda with 51*, while Henry Ssenyondo (2/14) performed the best with the ball for Uganda.
Three days later they took a pounding from Scotland in a rain-reduced match. Scotland limited Uganda to 90/5 off their 18 overs and Scotland were 27/0 inside two overs when rain saved Uganda’s blushes.
Uganda Team News
Uganda have played some good cricket against lower-ranked sides, but they have struggled against the top 10 to 15 teams in world cricket. Afghanistan are huge favourites to win this match by a large margin.
Verdict
I am backing Afghanistan to win. I am also backing Gulbadin Naib to top score for Afghanistan.
Roger Mukasa is a good bet to top score for Uganda.
