Papua New Guinea vs Uganda

Uganda won by 3 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)

Uganda script historic victory:

Uganda scripted a historic win in their second match at the ICC T20 World Cup, securing a three-wicket victory over Papua New Guinea (PNG) in a low-scoring yet tense encounter. Playing on a tricky surface at Providence Stadium, Guyana, that offered palpable assistance to the bowlers, Uganda's technical team, led by coach Abhay Sharma, made three bold tactical changes that paid off handsomely.

Tactical changes pay off:
Sharma made strategic changes, dropping left-arm orthodox spinner Henry Ssenyondo for off-spinner Frank Nsubuga, given the PNG lineup's left-handers. Batting all-rounder Kenneth Waiswa replaced the struggling top-order batter Ronak Patel, and young Juma Miyaji made his debut in place of paceman Bilal Hassun, who was wayward against Afghanistan.

Uganda's bowling dominance:

Winning the toss, Uganda's captain Brian Masaba elected to field, a decision that reaped early dividends.

PNG's innings quickly unraveled, finding themselves at 19 for 3 in 3.3 overs. Uganda's bowlers, led by veteran Frank Nsubuga, dismantled the PNG batting lineup. Nsubuga's remarkable spell of 2 for 4 in 4 overs, including two maidens, is now the most economical four-over spell in T20 World Cup history. His performance, along with two wickets each from Juma Miyaji, Alpesh Ramjani, and Cosmas Kyewuta, saw PNG fold for 77 in 19.1 overs. Nsubuga, at 43, also became the oldest player to feature in a World Cup match.

Cricket Cranes' chase:
Uganda's chase was fraught with tension. Early wickets tumbled as Roger Mukasa was trapped LBW for a duck, and Robinson Obuya holed out to Assad Vala for one, leaving Uganda at 6 for 2 in 2 overs. The situation worsened as Uganda slipped to 26 for 5 in 6.3 overs, with key dismissals including Simon Ssesazi, Alpesh Ramjani, and Dinesh Nakrani.
