T20 World Cup 2024 | AFG vs UGA LIVE SCORE UPDATES: Stupendous comeback from Uganda in death overs

Stupendous comeback from the African nation who are playing their first match in ICC T20 World Cup.
Uganda’s road to debut on the big stage – inspiration from West Indies, and a detailed roadmap
Frank Nsubuga says he and his teammates couldn’t sleep. “When we returned home, it was like we were dreaming with open eyes,” he tells The Indian Express.
The throwback is to November 2023. Such was the occasion for the Uganda cricket team, who had managed to qualify for their first-ever ICC World Cup, pipping the likes of Zimbabwe and Kenya – known power centres in African cricket.
But how did they get here? It would be wrong to consider their qualification as a fluke. Not long after they made it to the T20 World Cup, Uganda successfully defended their African T20 Cup title. It’s a competition that offers a stage to lesser-known sides in the continent, and of late, Uganda has emerged as a contender to compete at the pinnacle of the sport. But the ticket to the US and the West Indies wasn’t earned in a day.
