AFG vs UGA: Preview

Led by Rashid Khan, Afghanistan have a formidable squad, studded with impactful players throughout their lineup. 

Besides a solid opening pair comprising Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, the Afghans have the luxury of several multidimensional players like Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib and Karim Janat. 

Furthermore, with the experienced duo of Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq set to spearhead their pace attack, Afghanistan look like a really strong side and will start as the favourites to win this match. 

Meanwhile, Uganda would like to enjoy the moment as it will be their first-ever game in a T20 World Cup. 

A win against a relatively stronger Zimbabwean team was the most significant highlight of their inspirational journey in the Africa region qualifiers where they finished second in the points table. 

The onus will be on Riazat Ali Shah, Simon Ssesazi, Alpesh Ramjani and Dinesh Nakrani to ensure a respectable start for Uganda in the tournament.

The surface at the Providence Stadium in Guyana will be slightly sluggish, bringing the spinners into play. 

While the spinners will get significant assistance, the pacers might vary their pace as the ball generally holds up a bit at this venue. In addition, the track might be a bit two-paced, making things challenging for the batters.
