West Indies National Cricket Team vs Uganda National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: West Indies will look to register a second win in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 when they take on Uganda. The co-hosts of this year's T20 World Cup beat Papua New Guinea in their campaign opener, but their performance, especially with the bat, was far from convincing. Chasing 137 to win, West Indies stuttered and found themselves in a difficult spot at one point of time, only for Roston Chase and Andre Russell to bail them out and prevent what would have been a massive upset. Rovman Powell and co will aim at being more clinical in their second outing in T20 World Cup 2024 and hope to secure a big win, which will not only give them two points but also a lot of confidence heading into the remaining group matches. ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Complete Schedule For Free PDF Download Online: Get All Fixtures, Time Table With Match Timings in IST and Venue Details of Men's Twenty20 Cricket WC.
Uganda, the T20 World Cup debutants on their part, scripted a comeback of sorts. Brian Masaba and his team got off to a horrible start as they lost to Afghanistan by 125 runs. But the 'Cricket Cranes' breathed fresh life into their campaign with a victory over Papua New Guinea in their last match. The three-wicket win over the fellow associate nation was followed by a victory dance and the African team will look forward to carrying momentum from that match into this contest. West Indies are favourites to win the match, but nothing can be predicted in a format like T20, especially with USA having upset Pakistan earlier on. On Which Channel ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Will Be Telecast Live in India?
