AFG vs UGA Match Preview

Afghanistan will face Uganda in the fifth game of the T20 World Cup 2024. The game will be held at Providence Stadium in Guyana and will begin at 6:00 AM IST on June 4. On paper, Afghanistan appears to have an easy match, but you never know what will happen when the two teams take the field for their T20 World Cup opener. PNG stunned the West Indies yesterday, and Oman nearly defended a 109-run lead against Namibia. Afghanistan has one of the best teams at its disposal, with quality batters, brilliant pacers, and match-winning spinners, and if they perform to their full potential, they could win the World Cup.

Topmost Picks for AFG vs UGA Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Uganda

• Simon Ssesazi- He is the team’s leading run scorer in T20I cricket, with over 2000 runs. He is also the only Uganda batter to score a hundred in the format. 
• Dinesh Nakrani- He adds a lot of balance to the side given his all-round skills. Dinesh has scored over 800 runs for the side in addition to his 67 wickets. He will be one of the big game players for Uganda.

Top Picks – Afghanistan

• Rahmanullah Gurbaz- Gurbaz has been one of the biggest match winners for Afghanistan in T20Is. He is highly consistent for the national team and on his day can single handed win a game for his team.
• Noor Ahmed- Uganda batters have not played a lot of cricket against top teams and reading Noor’s left arm spin will be a challenge for them. Noor could pick multiple wickets in the game.

AFG vs UGA Probable Winners:

Afghanistan are the clear favourites to win. The team has a strong batting lineup, which is supported by a potent bowling attack that includes good pacers and outstanding spinners. Uganda could put the Afghan batters under pressure, but scoring runs against three quality spinners would be difficult, so Uganda may not even score 120 runs in the match. We see Afghanistan as the clear favourites. Considering the team combination, Afghanistan are expected to win this match.
