Gripping cricket contests on the cards

The World Cup Sub-Regional Africa Qualifier A have produced exhilarating cricket since six nations touched down last week, to join the hosts for a cricket festival. The red-hot action kicked off on Saturday, but it is today and tomorrow that local fans will see their side face a testing examination. As of yesterday, Uganda had all but secured one of the top two slots required to progress to the next phase of the qualifiers.

The East Africans have been belligerent, putting their opponents to the sword to undermine their rise as a cricket force on the continent. In 2024, the Cricket Cranes made history by qualifying for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time.
