Nigeria take on Uganda in match 8 of the ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers at the Integrated Polytechnic Regional Center on November 18th, Thursday.
Nigeria have had a pretty disappointing start to their tournament, having lost both their matches so far in the tournament. They lost their tournament-opener to Tanzania by 6 wickets. Issac Okpe ( 23-ball 22) and Ashmit Shreshtha (30-ball 26) ensured some sort of respectability to the Nigerian total. Prosper Useni, Peter Aho, Issac Okpe and Ridwan Abdulkareem chipped in with one wicket each.
In their second game of the tournament, Uganda handed them a 12-run defeat in what was a rain-curtailed encounter. Peter Aho, Sylvester Okpe and Prosper Useni took 2 wickets each, while Issac Okpe and Ridwan Abdulkareem chipped in with one wicket each. Ademola Onikoyi (27-ball 28) was their top-scorer.
Uganda have won 1 of their 2 games in the tournament so far. They lost their tournament-opener to Kenya by 1 run. Frank Nsubuga (2/7) and Riazat Ali Shah (2/27) were their top wicket-takers. Deusdedit Muhumza (48-ball 59) and Dinesh Nakrani (32-ball 67) were the top run-scorers, despite their heroics their team fell agonizingly short of the total.
In their second game of the tournament, Uganda registered a 12-run victory over Nigeria. Riazat Ali Shah (24-ball 39) and Dinesh Nakrani (22-ball 37) were their top run-scorers. Frank Nsubuga (1/27) was the lone wicket-taker in what was a rain-curtailed encounter.
