Match Preview

This will be the first game for Namibia in more than a year. They last played an ODI against UAE on 9th January 2020.

Uganda, meanwhile, last played against Qatar in a three-match T20I series back in February 2020. After losing the first two encounters, Uganda managed to bounce back and secure a victory in the final T20I to avoid a series clean sweep.

Both sides last met during the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifiers on 21st May 2019. Namibia batted first and posted 167 runs on the board, with Karl Birkenstock leading from the front with a half-century. In response, Uganda managed to get only 125, as Christi Viljoen’ four-wicket haul inspired Namibia to a 42-run win.
