Kenya take on Uganda (KEN vs UGA) in the 12th match of the ICC CWC League B at the Lugogo Stadium in Kampala, Uganda, on Sunday, June 26.
Kenya have had a topsy turvy run in the tournament so far. They began their campaign with a six-wicket win over Bermuda. However, they faced a 96-run defeat against Jersey in their next match.
But Kenya made a strong comeback with a thumping 134-run win against Italy in their previous game.
Uganda, on the other hand, lost their first three matches of the tournament. With their morale down after a horrifying start, they pulled themselves up against all odds to beat Italy by seven wickets in their previous game.
Uganda bowled Italy out for a paltry 120 and comfortably chased it down with seven wickets to spare, registering their first win of the tournament.
