NAM vs UGA Dream11: Two African nations Namibia and Uganda will be facing each other here at Windhoek in the first T20I of the series. Hosts Namibia have done well in the Associate competitions and will start the match confidently as they are also playing at their home ground. Namibia have been little more active than their counterparts in the recent two years playing 16 matches and having won 12 of them. They will rely upon the experienced players like Craig Williams, Bernard Scholtz and skipper Erasmus to take them home.

Uganda meanwhile, will start as underdogs and will see this as a great opportunity to resume their cricket after the pandemic. With just 7 games in the last two years, they are little short of match practice but they have players in the squad who can be match winners on their days. The focus will be on Akankwasa and skipper Masaba to deliver a decent performance against a strong Namibian side.
