ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier Match 21, Seychelles vs Uganda: Probable XI, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report
The Seychelles and Uganda will square off in the 21st match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers. The Integrated Polytechnic Regional Center in Kigali, Rwanda will host this encounter.
The Seychelles have struggled a bit in the competition. They have had an up-and-down ride so far, winning two of the five games played. The side are currently placed fifth in the points table with four points to their name. They won their last game against Eswatini comprehensively.
The Seychelles bowlers did a fine job of restricting Eswatini to 128 in their 20 overs. The batters then stepped up to chase down the total in the 16th over with seven wickets in hand. It was a good performance from the Seychelles and they will be looking to carry the winning momentum forward.
Uganda, on the other hand, are on a roll in the competition so far. They sit comfortably at the top of the table, with 10 points to their name. Having won all five of their games, they will be riding with confidence.
In their last game, everyone in the side stepped up to complete a big win over Ghana. Asked to bat first, Uganda scored 176 in 20 overs and it was always going to be an uphill task for Ghana to chase this total. Uganda's bowlers then stepped up to knock Ghana over for 97, winning the game by 79 runs.
