Uganda is determined to bounce back against Namibia, a team they have historically struggled against. Despite their recent winning streak, Uganda did suffer a loss to Namibia in a recent match. The teams will be looking to find the right combination before the start of the main tournament.

There are some standout players in the Uganda team especially in the batting department. They have been scoring runs left right and centre. Roger Musaka and Simon Ssezai will be key players for Uganda, with Ssezai being the highest run-scorer for Uganda in T20I cricket and the first Ugandan batter to score a century in T20Is. Robinson Obuya, a relatively new player, has shown promise with his strike rate and is positioned at number 3 in the batting lineup.
