However, the West Indies cannot take Uganda for granted. They are coming off an inspiring win against PNG and are massively high-spirited.

That being said, West Indies have the tools to make it to super 8 stage as their squad is one of the most dangerous in the league. But the problem remains the execution especially with the bat. 

Regardless, with home advantage in their favour, West Indies are favourites leading into the contest.

Uganda

Uganda scripted one of the most inspiring and historic victories this week against PNG as they finally tasted victory in the T20 World Cup. 

In a low scoring thriller, Uganda lost early wickets which put the 78 runs chase in jeopardy. But Riazat Ali Shah’s 33 runs resistance helped Uganda create history.

Hence, coming into the impending contest against West Indies, Uganda will count themselves equal competitors. They have the hunger and passion to give it all in each game. 

And with the kind of form West Indies has shown this edition, the game seems evenly poised for both sides. The only thing Uganda needs to master is the art of keeping composure in clutch situations.

WI vs UGA: Province Stadium Pitch Report

The Province Stadium, situated in Guyana, has produced low-scoring games so far in the 2024 T20 World Cup. It has enough help for pacers as well as spinners, which essentially means the batters have to keep their guard up all the time. The key is to spend as much time as possible in the middle in order to get some runs. Batting first is likely the ideal choice.
