Debutantes Uganda have recorded their first ever victory in an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tournament. They beat Papua New Guinea by three wickets in a Group C match in Guyana. Uganda, who chose to field first, bowled out Papua New Guinea for 77 in the 20th over.
All-rounder Frank Nsubuga, bowling off-spin, took two wickets for only four runs in his four overs. It’s the most economical bowling figures in T20 World Cup history.
