Preview :

In the 32nd fixture of the T20 World Cup 2024, New Zealand vs Uganda will take place on Saturday at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Trinidad and Tobago. Both teams are in desperate need of a win to make sure they qualify for the Super 12 round of the tournament.

New Zealand is currently at the bottom of the point table from Group C. They have played a single game as of now and that too turned out to be an embarrassing loss.

Uganda is currently at the 3rd spot in the point table with a single win. Their net run rate stands at -4.217. The team just needs a single win to qualify for the Super 12 round.

New Zealand unfortunately eliminated from the 2024 T20 World Cup following two consecutive defeats in the first round. They lost their opening match to Afghanistan by 84 runs and suffered a 13-run loss to the West Indies.

The defeat to the West Indies will particularly sting as New Zealand had the hosts struggling at 76-7 but allowed them to recover and post 149-9. During the chase, the Kiwis lacked intent and never appeared competitive.

The batting lineup has been disappointing, with key players like Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, and Daryl Mitchell failing to perform. These high-quality players are expected to improve, especially Williamson and Mitchell, in the remaining matches.

On the positive side, Glenn Phillips has shown resilience, scoring 40 off 33 balls against the West Indies, a standout performance in an otherwise lackluster chase. Finn Allen, with 26 off 23 balls, also showed promise, and his aggressive batting could be a key factor against Uganda’s bowling attack.

The Kiwi bowlers have fared better, with Trent Boult leading the charge, taking 5 wickets in 2 matches at an economy rate of 4.75. Lockie Ferguson’s pace and movement, along with Mitchell Santner’s left-arm spin, are expected to trouble Uganda’s inexperienced batters during the middle overs.

Uganda enters this match after a heavy 134-run defeat against the West Indies. Their World Cup campaign has been inconsistent, with a notable 3-wicket win against Papua New Guinea amid heavy losses to Australia and the hosts.

While Uganda is the underdog, they believe they can challenge New Zealand. For that to happen, their batters must step up. No Ugandan batter has crossed 50 runs in the tournament so far. Riazat Ali Shah leads with 47 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 48, followed by Juma Miyagi with 26 runs in 2 innings at a strike rate of 72.

The team will seek substantial contributions from openers Roger Mukasa (269 runs in the last 10 matches at a strike rate of 116.45) and Simon Ssesazi (235 runs in the last 10 matches at 157).

Captain Brian Masaba leads the bowling attack with 5 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 5.75. His middle-overs bowling will be crucial for containing New Zealand. Cosmas Kyewuta and Alpesh Ramjani have been effective with the new ball and will aim to apply early pressure on New Zealand.
