Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Gulbadin Naib
Gulbadin Naib has been in scintillating form with the bat in 2024. In four innings, he has scored 132 runs at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 159.03. Naib scored two fifties in the three-match T20I series against India in January. The right-handed batter smashed a 30-ball 69 in Afghanistan’s warm-up match against Scotland. If he gets going at the top, Uganda bowlers will be in for a nightmare.
Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan had his least productive IPL season, as he failed to make an impact in most of the matches. However, there is no doubting the class of the talismanic leg-spinner. Rashid will be looking to unleash his bag of tricks against the inexperienced Uganda batters and get his campaign off to a bright start.
