Uganda's men's national team made history on Monday night in Guyana as they made their first appearance on the World Cup stage as they took on Afghanistan. This is also the first-ever meeting between the two teams and the African side made sure that the Asians took home a special memory from the game as they presented them with a souvenir.

Ahead of the start group C clash in match 5 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, the Afghanistan skipper, Rashid Khan, on behalf of the Afghanistan Cricket Board received a memento from Uganda's captain Brian Masaba.

Uganda had qualified for the biggest-ever event in their cricketing history from the qualification tournament in November 2023 after knocking out Zimbabwe with a win over Rwanda.

Masaba also gifted Rashid with a cap to celebrate the occasion before going in for the toss which was won by Uganda who decided to bowl first.

Afghanistan posted a healthy 183/5, however, credit should be given to Uganda for restricting the side to under 200. In reply, Fazalhaq Farooqi ripped through the Uganda top-order batters as the side is on the verge of defeat.
