Preview: On Tuesday, June 4, at Providence Stadium in Guyana, Afghanistan (AFG) and Uganda (UGA) will play in Match 5 of the T20 World Cup 2024. Namibia easily defeated Uganda by five wickets in their first warm-up match, while Afghanistan easily defeated Scotland by 55 runs. Given that their group is expected to compete in a tough manner, the Afghans will see this as a chance to start their tournament on a positive note.
Prior to their first World Cup match, Uganda is in the lead. Afghanistan has won three T20I matches in the last five, while they have won four. But the star-studded Afghanistan team will undoubtedly scare the minnows and put more pressure on them to do well at the World Cup. Uganda will learn from its successful ACA Africa T20 Cup and Men’s African Games competitions, but the Rashid Khan-led team has the advantage of having played competitive cricket throughout the world.
T20 World Cup 2024, 5th Match, AFG vs UGA
Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana
Date & Time: Tuesday, June 04, 6:00 AM
Pitch Report: Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, has a good T20 cricket pitch. The bowlers and batsmen have engaged in some amazing battles. Although rapid bowlers can move the ball, front-row players can score quickly on this track. Later in the game, spinners have the ability to turn the ball. In Guyana, there will be cloud cover, and the game can be interrupted by rain. Although the ground would be suitable for batting, the weather will also help the bowlers. The team batting first will be pleased to have 180 runs on the board in this high-stakes match.
