WI vs UGA Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024: Akeal Hosein's fifer helps West Indies crush Uganda by 134 runs

West Indies vs Uganda T20 World Cup Live Score: West Indies thrashed newcomers Uganda by 134 runs in their T20 World Cup Group C match here with left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein returning a five-wicket haul here.

West Indies, making use of the familiarity with the home conditions and vital contributions from their batters, especially Johnson Charles (44) and Andre Russell (30 not out), put up an impressive 173 for five on the board.

Brian Masaba was the most successful Ugandan bowler, taking two wickets for 31 runs.

In reply, Uganda could only make 39 runs in 12 overs, with Akeal making it a completely one-sided contest for the two-time T20 world champions, ripping apart the rival top and middle-order.

This was West Indies' second successive win in the tournament.

Drinks break! Uganda have pulled things back in the last 3 overs but need to pick themselves in the field as they look to build on the prized scalp of Nicholas Pooran. As for the West Indies, they have slowed down a bit but this is still a good platform for them to go big. It will be interesting to see how this explosive pair goes about their business of setting a target on this slow and low wicket.
