Match over
1.6 : 1.6: Cosmas Kyewuta to Johnson Charles, FOUR! Powerfully hit and Johnson Charles finally gets it through! Cosmas offers width slightly on off, on a short of a good length, Johnson Charles makes room and slaps it through the in-field on the off side for a boundary.
2.1 : 2.1: Juma Miyagi to Brandon King, FOUR! Width offered and Brandon King pounces on it! Juma errs in line as this is on a back of a length and wide on off, Brandon King frees his arms and rides the bounce nicely to hit it through extra cover for his first boundary.
2.3 : 2.3: Juma Miyagi to Johnson Charles, FOUR! Not in control but Johnson Charles still manages to find the fence. Rolls his fingers over the ball and bowls it away from the reach of the batter, on a length, Johnson Charles crouches and drags the swipe across the line towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary.
2.5 : 2.5: Juma Miyagi to Johnson Charles, FOUR! The boundaries starting to flow now for Johnson Charles.
3.2 : 3.2: Cosmas Kyewuta to Johnson Charles, SIX! Launched down the ground! Johnson Charles went through his shot early but got enough bat on it.
4.2: Alpesh Ramjani to Brandon King, FOUR! Nicely done! On a nagging length and angling in, way outside leg, Brandon King backs away and creates the room succesfully. Punches it between cover and mid off for a boundary.
4.3 : 4.3: Alpesh Ramjani to Brandon King, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Alpesh Ramjani strikes back! The Ugandan fans on the grass banks are delighted.
4.6 : 4.6: Alpesh Ramjani to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! BOOM! Nicholas Pooran is off and running! Ramjani misses his mark on the last delivery as he lands it right in the wheelhouse for Pooran, on middle and leg. Nicholas Pooran gets down on one knee quickly and nails the slog sweep over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
5.3 : 5.3: Juma Miyagi to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Second biggie for Nicky P! Short in length and on off. Nicholas Pooran pulls it over square leg for a biggie. 50 up for West Indies.

7.3 : 7.3: Brian Masaba to Nicholas Pooran, Six!
9.2 : 9.2: Brian Masaba to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! GONE! The skipper strikes! The dangerous Pooran goes! Brian Masaba fires in quick, a bit short and on middle and leg. Nicholas Pooran goes back and hangs low to pull but gets a top edge. It flies high but not far away as Brian Masaba accepts the return catch. 
9.6 : 9.6: Brian Masaba to Johnson Charles, FOUR! MISFIELD! 10 runs and a wicket off it.
10.1 : 10.1: Frank Nsubuga to Rovman Powell, FOUR! Easy pickings! Fires it in but it is too straight, on the pads, Rovman Powell tickles it fine to the right of short fine leg for a boundary.
10.4 : 10.4: Frank Nsubuga to Rovman Powell, SIX! Wow, this has gone out of the park! Floats it up, on a good length, on middle, Rovman Powell skips down the track and smokes it over long on for a 107-metre maximum. Monstrous hit from the Windies skipper.
12.4: Dinesh Nakrani to Johnson Charles, OUT! TAKEN! Brilliantly held and the change of bowling has done the trick for Uganda! Johnson Charles is crossed with himself as this was a delivery begging to be hit. Low full toss from around the wicket, on middle, Johnson Charles gets down the track to latch onto it. Gets hit high on the bat and it goes only as far as long on where Alpesh Ramjani runs in off the ropes and dives in front to take a safe catch.
13.4: Brian Masaba to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! Short and punished! A boundary after 20 balls for the West Indies! Too short from Brian Masaba, on middle, it stays low and Sherfane Rutherford crouches to make the connection and dispatches the pull over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
14.1 : 14.1: Dinesh Nakrani to Sherfane Rutherford, Four!
15.3 : 15.3: Brian Masaba to Rovman Powell, OUT! c Robinson Obuya b Brian Masaba.
16.6 : 16.6: Dinesh Nakrani to Andre Russell, FOUR! The boundary ruins the over. Placement from Russell! Length ball, outside off, Andre Russell hangs back and cuts it late as he threads it through backward point for a boundary. 
17.2 : 17.2: Cosmas Kyewuta to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR! Crunched! A length ball, outside off, Rutherford hammers it through point for a boundary. 
17.3 : 17.3: Cosmas Kyewuta to Sherfane Rutherford, OUT! BOWLED! Ohh, what a beauty from Cosmas Kyewuta! Absolutely superb! A yorker, in the blockhole on leg, close to perfection from Cosmas Kyewuta and Rutherford is undone as he is late to get his bat down, it rolls under the blade and clips the stumps. Such a hard delivery to execute. 
17.6 : 17.6: Cosmas Kyewuta to Andre Russell, No ball and Four!
19.1 : 19.1: Cosmas Kyewuta to Andre Russell, FOUR! Uganda need to keep West Indies under 170 anyhow! Not the best of the start though off the over. Fuller and outside off. Andre Russell slams it through covers for a boundary.
19.3 : 19.3: Cosmas Kyewuta to Andre Russell, FOUR! Well played! Cosmas Kyewuta gives a bit of width, this is full and outside off, Andre Russell ramps it through backward point for a boundary.
19.4 : 19.4: Cosmas Kyewuta to Andre Russell, FOUR! Third boundary in the over! Streaky though! Fuller dleivery, outside off. Andre Russell swings hard but edges it down to third man for a boundary.
19.5 : 19.5: Cosmas Kyewuta to Andre Russell, FOUR! Andre Russell has played an absolute gem here despite struggling for most of the time. Again off the edge but West Indies won't mind. Touch fuller and outside off, Andre Russell flashes his blade, it goes off the top edge over short third man.
0.2 : 0.2: Akeal Hosein to Roger Mukasa, OUT! LBW! That looks plumb! Roger Mukasa has a chat with Simon Ssesazi and in the last second thinks to review but runs out of time. Very full and on middle, Roger Mukasa looks to reverse sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger.
0.5 : 0.5: Akeal Hosein to Robinson Obuya, FOUR! Uganda are underway! Pitched up, outside off. Robinson Obuya plays a lovely drive through covers for a boundary.
1.2 : 1.2: Romario Shepherd to Simon Ssesazi, FOUR! Not off the middle but gets the boundary! On a good length and on middle, Simon Ssesazi whacks it to deep square leg. Sherfane Rutherford runs to his left, dives but fails to stop it cleanly.
1.3 : 1.3: Romario Shepherd to Simon Ssesazi, OUT! c Alzarri Joseph b Romario Shepherd.
2.4 : 2.4: Akeal Hosein to Alpesh Ramjani, FOUR! Hits one now! Tossed up on middle, Alpesh Ramjani sweeps it behind square on the leg side for a boundary.
2.6 : 2.6: Akeal Hosein to Alpesh Ramjani, OUT! LBW! That is dead in front! Tossed up on middle, shapes away from Alpesh as he looks to sweep but misses and gets hit on the back pad. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. That was plumb. Akeal Hosein gets his second wicket already.
3.1 : 3.1: Andre Russell to Robinson Obuya, OUT! BOWLED! First with the bat, now with the ball, Andre Russell is the man of the moment! Uganda in a lot of trouble! Andre Russell steams in and fires in a fuller delivery, around middle and off, holds its line. Robinson Obuya looks to defend but gets beaten on the outside edge and it crashes the off-pole. 
4.4 : 4.4: Akeal Hosein to Riazat Ali Shah, OUT! BOWLED! This is the one surely Akeal Hosein would have loved the most! So accurate and so skillfull! An arm ball, full and around off, keeps coming with the angle and gets enough swing on this one as well. Riazat Ali Shah tries to defend but it goes through the gate and crashes the stumps. Uganda lose half of their side inside five overs.
6.1 : 6.1: Akeal Hosein to Dinesh Nakrani, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Dinesh Nakrani is having a field day out there!
6.5 : 6.5: Akeal Hosein to Kenneth Waiswa, OUT! TRAPPED PLUMB IN FRONT! FIVE WICKETS FOR AKEAL HOSEIN! This has been nothing short of a dream spell for Hosein. Another one of those deliveries from Hosein that curves back in with the angle from around the wicket to the right-hander, full and on off and middle, Kenneth Waiswa gets on the front foot but plays for the turn as he looks to defend it with a straight bat. The ball keeps coming in and pings Waiswa on the front pad. Waiswa has a word with Brian
7.4 : 7.4: Alzarri Joseph to Brian Masaba, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A well-directed bumper and Alzarri Joseph gets into the act now!
10.6 : 10.6: Gudakesh Motie to Cosmas Kyewuta, OUT! LBW! Gudakesh Motie gets one now. Tossed up, full and around off, gets it to swing it in as well. Cosmas Kyewuta tries to defend with his bat and pad together. It hits the pad first. An appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his dreaded finger. Cosmas Kyewuta doesn't even bother to review it.
11.6: Alzarri Joseph to Frank Nsubuga, OUT! CASTLED! All over for Uganda! Alzarri Joseph completes the formalities! Charges in from over the wicket and attacks the off pole, on a good length, Frank Nsubuga opts to stay leg side of the ball and tries to cover the line of the ball as he looks to defend it out. Ends up playing inside the line of the ball as it zips through to beat the outside edge and pegs the off-pole back. Uganda have been rolled over for 39, the joint-lowest total for a team in
