Uganda will play Namibia in a three-match T20I series and two-match ODI series beginning on April 8, 2022, with the last ODI scheduled for April 13, 2022. The United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek will host all of the matches.
In 2021, the two teams met for the first time, with Namibia sweeping Uganda 3-0. Craig Williams was the tournament’s leading run-scorer, with 95 runs in three games. He had a 31.67 batting average and a 143.94 strike rate Ben Shikongo took the most wickets in the series, with 5 wickets at an average of 9.60 in three games.
Namibia will be the favorites to win the series from the start. With the exception of all-rounder David Wiese, they will have a full-strength squad. Namibia has challenged strong teams on their home turf, and Uganda will have to be at their best to beat the hosts in the forthcoming Uganda Tour of Namibia.
Players to look forward
Ruben Trumpelmann: With the ball, he will be crucial for Namibia. His performance in the just concluded T20I World Cup demonstrates his all-around talents.
Gerhard Erasmus: The Namibian skipper has been in fantastic form recently and will play a key part in the team’s success in the forthcoming series.
Riazat Ali Shah: He is Uganda’s batsman and ballplayer of the year. In the 2021 bilateral series between Namibia and Uganda, he shone out. In the upcoming season, he will be crucial to Uganda’s success.
Dinesh Nakrani: With the ball in his hands, Nakrani will be a key player. He has put in some incredible performances for Uganda recently, and he is anticipated to continue that trend in the forthcoming series.
