Uganda U19
Papua New Guinea Under19 will face Uganda Under 19s in the 13th Place Play-off Semi-Final-1 of ICC Men’s Under-19 World Cup as Diego Martin Sporting Complex in Trinidad will host this fixture. Uganda U19 lost their last game to UAE U19 by the difference of a wicket. They have lost all the four matches they have played so far in the tournament and sit at the bottom of the Group B points table.
After being asked to bat first Uganda-U19 were knocked over at a total of 123 by the end of 38.1 overs. The Uganda bowling attack seemed inefficient in front of the highly skilled UAE bowlers. Ronald Lutaaya remained the highest contributor for Uganda scoring 25 off 47 while their skipper, Pascal Murungi added 23 off 31.
In return, the Uganda bowlers put up a grit effort to restrict the UAE batters and were succeeding to do so but a couple of boundaries from Adhitya Shetty coming down the order made the difference for UAE. Joseph Baguma and Matthew Musinguzi bowled some stunning spells and bagged three scaps each while Edwin Nuwagaba picked two scalps.
