The second game of the T20I series between Namibia and Uganda will be played on April 9. The United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek will continue to host the games of the series.

Namibia brushed aside Uganda in the first game of the series in a low-scoring affair. After electing to bowl first, the Namibian bowlers did a fine job of restricting Uganda to 127/5 in their 20 overs. Simon Ssesazi was the lone fighter for Uganda as he scored a 50 and helped his side post a respectable total on the board.

The Namibian openers started positively and Stephan Baard scored a 50. The Ugandan bowlers only managed to scalp a couple of wickets as the hosts chased down the total with eight balls to spare. Baard remained unbeaten on 52 and guided his side across the line.

Namibia continue to be favorites in the series and will be eager to keep performing in the same way. Uganda need to fire in unison to level the series in the second game. They have to be at their absolute best to challenge the Namibian side on Saturday.
