PNG-U19 have faced convincing losses in all four of their encounters so far. On the other end, Uganda atleast put up some kind of a fight against UAE-U19 in their last game, who were certain favorites to win the match. We expect Uganda to build on their momentum, and qualify for the 13th place battle.
UGA are the favorites as per dream11 prediction. Papua New Guinea have scored more than 100 runs in an innings only on one occasion, which came against West Indies in the last game. Uganda’s batting has also been poor, but they have at least managed to put up decent totals on the board.
