Uganda came up short in their opening Africa Qualifier clash, going down to Zimbabwe after setting just 152 for 9. The hosts had no trouble overhauling the target, leaving Uganda with work to do in the next games.
Sumeet Verma anchored the innings with a well-played 45 from 32 balls in the first match, and Riazat Ali Shah added a bright 35 from 24. Beyond those two, however, contributions dried up, and the rest of the lineup will have to raise their output in this contest.
Raghav Dhawan will be counted upon after his fine run in the Pearl of Africa T20I Series, where he scored 228 runs in six games at a strike rate of 106. The side will also depend on Dinesh Nakrani and Robinson Obuya to add stability, with at least one of them expected to contribute 25 to 30 runs in the middle order.
These conditions should aid their attack, which looks balanced for slower pitches. Juma Miyagi’s pace has been effective recently, and he showed his class with a spell of 2-42 in the game against Zimbabwe. He will be supported by Nakrani, Cosmas Kyewuta, and Alpesh Ramjani, all of whom are capable of impactful spells.

Tanzania kicked off their Africa Qualifier in style by brushing aside Botswana by seven wickets, chasing a modest target of 123 in 13.5 overs. That result has given them confidence and a platform to push forward in the upcoming fixtures.
Arun Yadav and Dhrumit Mehta have been central to their batting plans, both striking fluently at the top. If they get going again, Tanzania could gain the upper hand early. Arun has been particularly impressive, finishing as the leading scorer in the Quadrangular where he piled up 318 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 165, and top-scoring in the last match with a fluent 62 off 32.
Ajith Augastin has offered stability in the middle, often adding scores in the 30 to 40 range that prove valuable. With further contributions expected from Mukesh Suthar and Kassim Nassoro, the side has enough batting depth to stay competitive.
Their bowling attack has been another strong point. Ally Kimote dominated in the last series with 13 wickets in six outings and has already struck in this event, taking 2 for 18 in the first game. Laksh Bakrania and Khalidy Juma are capable of keeping things tight, while Arun Yadav and Salum Jumbe provide extra options to round out the bowling mix.

The surface at the Takashinga Sports Club tends to be sluggish and dry, making it difficult for batters to score freely in the early stages. Spinners find turn right from the start, while pacers can make use of the new ball’s movement to trouble the top order. Batters who adapt to the low bounce and prioritize patience will eventually find ways to accumulate runs, but playing aggressive strokes demands precision.
With a clear weather forecast for Harare, the game should proceed without interruptions.
In the first two games played at the Takashinga Sports Club in the Africa Qualifier, we have seen that the venue isn’t likely to produce high-scoring encounters, and a score around 150-160 could be competitive.
Chasing has proved to be advantageous at the Takashinga Sports Club, as we saw in the first two matches of the Africa Qualifier, where the team batting second registered comfortable victories. So expect the toss-winning captain to bowl first in this game.
Uganda have been unbeaten against Tanzania over the last five T20I encounters, and will look to extend that streak when they clash this Sunday. While Uganda lost their tournament opener, they are still a solid overall side and will back themselves to get past Tanzania.
Uganda are favorites to come out with a win in this contest.
