Uganda form

Brian Masaba’s team had a tough first warmup match against Namibia, losing by 5 wickets. They are now focused on addressing their issues as they face a stronger opponent in their next game. Masaba is hopeful for a better performance from their batsmen after struggling in the previous match. Robinson Obuya and Ronak Patel aim to form a solid partnership, while Roger Mukasa looks to do the same with Riazat Ali Shah and Alpesh Ramjani in the middle order. Dinesh Nakrani and Kenneth Waiswa are expected to score quick runs in the lower middle order. The bowling attack has not been up to par, so the team is looking for improved performances from Cosmas Kyewuta and Juma Miyagi with the new ball, as well as from Bilal Hassan, Frank Nsubuga, and Dinesh Nakrani in the middle overs. Alpesh Ramjani, Henry Ssenyondo, and Masaba himself are also key players in the team’s preparations for the upcoming game.
