Team Previews
Uganda Preview
Uganda enters this fixture as the undisputed leaders of the Pearl of Africa T20I Series. They are unbeaten in the tournament, having registered impressive victories over UAE, Kenya, and Nigeria. Their all-round consistency is what sets them apart.
In their last match against Kenya, Uganda displayed a balanced performance. With the bat, Raghav Dhawan (41), Robinson Obuya (40), and a solid finishing touch by Dinesh Nakrani and Juma Miyagi ensured they posted a competitive total of 157. The bowlers then dominated, led by Cosmas Kyewuta and veteran Frank Nsubuga, restricting Kenya to just 129.
Their bowling unit is arguably the best in the tournament. Cosmas, Frank, and Miyagi have formed a trio that can strangle opponents during all phases. In the batting department, Impressive knocks by Dhawan and Obuya provide top-order solidity, while Nakrani brings balance with both bat and ball.
With a win here, Uganda will almost certainly book a spot in the final. The team is high on confidence and has a strong bench, making them the favorites again in today’s clash.
Nigeria Preview
Nigeria has struggled throughout this T20I series, having lost all four matches played so far. Their performance against UAE highlighted the core issue — lack of batting depth. Bowled out for just 58 runs, Nigeria’s batters failed to cope with the disciplined UAE attack. Only Isaac Danladi managed to score in double digits.
Even their bowling has lacked penetration, with key bowlers like Okpe and Useni unable to control the flow of runs or pick wickets at regular intervals. Nigeria’s top order has been fragile, middle-order unreliable, and their tail fails to wag.
The team is captained by Sylvester Okpe, who has shown glimpses of leadership, but needs support from the entire unit. Peter Aho and Isaac Okpe bring some pace, but they haven’t been effective consistently. They need a miracle to break the 11-match losing streak against Uganda.

Favourite Team Today
Uganda is clearly the favorite to win this encounter. Their unbeaten run in the tournament, formidable record against Nigeria, and the depth in both batting and bowling units make them a tough side to beat. Their top order is reliable, while the lower middle order, led by Nakrani and Miyagi, has the capability to accelerate late. Their spin-heavy attack, spearheaded by Nsubuga, has successfully stifled oppositions on the slow Entebbe pitch. Nigeria, on the other hand, is struggling with both form and confidence. Having lost seven straight T20Is at this venue, it’s hard to see them turning things around today.
