Afghanistan and Uganda will square off in the 5th game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 on June 4th at Providence Stadium in Guyana.
Both teams will be playing their first game of the tournament and will aim to start their campaign on a positive note.
The Providence Stadium’s pitch has been well-balanced. The Pacers are likely to see some action with the new ball. Batters will need to bide their time in the middle before shifting gears. A score of around 150 could prove to be par at the venue.
