Uganda equalled the lowest score in T20 World Cup history after getting bowled out for 39 all out against the West Indies in Georgetown on Sunday. New Delhi: Uganda tumbled to the lowest score in T20 World Cup history when they were bowled out for 39 all out against the West Indies at the Providence Stadium in Georgetown on Sunday. They equalled the score the Netherlands managed against Sri Lanka in 2014.
West Indies had posted 173/5 after winning the toss and opting to bat to win by 134 runs, notching up the second largest victory margin in the tournament’s history. On a slow, low pitch, West Indies struggled to time the ball but were lifted by opener Johnson Charles’s 44 from 42 balls, Rovman Powell’s 22 and Andre Russell’s 30 not out. Russell hit four boundaries in the final over to pull West Indies past 170.
Uganda began their chase in the worst possible fashion when Roger Mukasa was adjudged leg before wicket to Akeal Hosein off the second ball after which Juma Miyagi was the only batter to reach double figures with 13 from 20 balls. Left-arm spinner Hosein claimed five for 11 in four overs while pacer Alzarri Joseph took a couple of wickets from his three overs “I think I needed this,” said man-of-the-match Hosein. “In the nets and in the previous series I felt the ball was coming out good but I was just not getting the rewards.
