Great picture: Uganda's participants take on their champions

It's odd and lovely that West Indies is playing their fourth T20I against a Full-Member nation, beating Zimbabwe in the Africa Qualifiers before losing to Afghanistan on their World Cup comeback. Regardless of the outcome, Saturday may be cherished and celebrated both domestically and abroad. West Indians serve as some of the role models for some Ugandan people. In flour Simon Ssesazi's terms, some of them "only help West Indies in any style of the match" and it's a "blessing" to sing against them. The co-host of this World Cup, Frank Nsubuga, 43, who named his brother Pollard after a famous West Indian story, has received so much love and admiration.

West Indies are coming into this sport on the rear of five successive gets and will be willing to extend that ability. West Indies came home in their opening game thanks to Roston Chase's heroic chase despite being scared by PNG ( PNG ) in the first match.

As for Uganda, they are story- manufacturers. They are soldiers. They are not used to playing under lights because they do n't even have a floodlit practice area there. In their first World Cup looks, they swept up in this remote area, where Afghanistan defeated them in their opening match, which was played under lighting. All four of their Group C games were played under lights. Uganda, however, quickly adjusted to the situation, defeating PNG in a low-scoring drama in their next match to claim their first World Cup victory.

For them, facing co- visitors West Indies will be a little stiffer problem. If Uganda have played a full of 93 T20Is thus far, Nicholas Pooran alone has featured in 89 T20Is. After being bowled out for 58 against Afghanistan and losing seven innings in a fight of 78 against PNG, Uganda's bowling may be their biggest problem heading into Saturday's activity. Can they issue the Providence's West Indies ' powerhouses?

Roston Chase and Riazat Ali Shah are in the limelight.

Uganda should become afraid of among the West Indian allrounders that André Russell does. Since being recalled to the T20I part this year, Boston Chase 2.0 has been in outstanding shape. In three of his four T20Is in 2024, he has bowled the total limit of four innings, conceding Riazat Ali Shah, one of Uganda's most convincing players, for a careful 33 off 56 to resurrect a difficult fight following an early crumble against PNG. He has a strike price of 122.7 in 59 T20Is and will look to find a higher timbre against West Indies.

Team media

West Indies was n't hold fast bowler Shamar Joseph and flour Shimron Hetmyer in the XI against PNG. Instead, they continued to rear Romario Shepherd and Sherfane Rutherford. They may stay with the same XI against Uganda.

West Indies ( probable XI ): 1 Johnson Charles, 2 Brandon King, 3 Nicholas Pooran (wk ), 4 Roston Chase, 5 Rovman Powell ( capt ), 6 Sherfane Rutherford, 7 Andre Russell, 8 Romario Shepherd, 9 Akeal Hosein, 10 Alzarri Joseph, 11 Gudakesh Motie

Uganda made three changes for the second game from the XI that played the opener with Ronak Patel ( opener ), Henry Ssenyondo ( left- arm spinner ), and Bilal Hassan ( medium pacer ) sitting out. Juma Miyagi and Kenneth Waiswa, two rate players, and Nsubuga, a spin allrounder, were both added. Miyagi and Nsubuga are likely to keep their positions despite their significant contributions to Uganda's victory over PNG.

Uganda ( probable XI ): 1 Roger Mukasa, 2 Simon Ssesazi (wk ), 3 Robinson Obuya, 4 Riazat Ali Shah, 5 Dinesh Nakrani, 6 Alpesh Ramjani, 7 Juma Miyagi, 8 Brian Masaba ( capt ), 9 Kenneth Waiswa, 10 Cosmas Kyewuta, 11 Frank Nsubuga

Numbers that matter: Pooran warm on Gayle's pumps

Nicholas Pooran needs 25 operates to beat Chris Gayle's count of 1899 and be West Indies ' highest run- getter in female's T20Is. Between them, Pooran and Russell have each hit 786 innings during the 2018 T20s. At a rate of 4.3, Alpesh Ramjani of Uganda has 13 innings in six T20Is this time.

Ball and conditions: Another weak area on the tickets

Because Providence's area is anticipated to be slower, scoring might not be as straightforward once more. There is no chance of rain or storms on Saturday, which might be overcast with night temperatures of around 23 degrees.

Quotes

" My activity was always one where I could always turn the attack and turn it over during middle overs." But my sport has evolved where I have learned and I've been practising to finish the game in the rear end in terms of the energy- hitting and getting stronger and products. But, I think that's what really helped my game to advance. So that's made me a better person, yes".
Roston Chase on how he has levelled up

" Getting our primary win against PNG is a dream come true. We always thought we'd get any game and everyone was like,' I think they're really going to play and only come back and relax'. But it was incredible putting in that strong of a performance against PNG on the major step. Kampala has been booming ever since we won, and everyone has merely referred to us as legends. I do n't know if we're legends but yeah, it's exciting".
Simon Ssesazi reflects on the positive effects his team has had there.
