WI vs. UGN, 18th Match

Preview

West Indies will cross swords with Uganda for the 18th match of the World T20 League on Sunday, June 9. The match is scheduled to be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. 

The co-hosts enter this World T20 League following a 5-wicket win against Papua New Guinea, thanks to the service of Roston Chase. With prime players like Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein, West Indies will be eyeing their second win in this league. In their previous five matches, the Caribbean side has registered five consecutive wins which provides them with immense confidence in the matches to come. 

Uganda on the other hand are newbies into the World T20 League and has played two games so far. The first one was a defeat against Afghanistan and the second one marked their first win of the tournament against PNG. Uganda will now be looking for their second win of the campaign with clinical performances from their key players like Roger Mukasa and skipper Brian Masaba. Uganda has won only two of the last five matches.

Match Prediction

West Indies have started off their campaign with a narrow victory against PNG by five wickets. They are a big fish in world cricket but have been in poor form in recent years. Despite everything we cannot rule out the fact that the T20 Giants can wipe off any side in this World T20 Series with their deadly power-hitting abilities. So we back West Indies to win this match and get their second straight victory in this tournament.
