The first semi-final to secure a 13th place in the ICC Under 19 World Cup 2022 will see Uganda (UGA) take on Papua New Guinea (PNG) at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex Stadium in Trinidad on Friday.
Uganda lost a close match to the United Arab Emirates by one wicket, extending their losing streak to four. As a result, they were one of the bottom teams in the tournament. It will be Uganda's last game of the tournament against Papua New Guinea, and they will hope to end their campaign on a high note.
However, Papua New Guinea are also coming off a huge 169-runs loss to West Indies. They are also looking for their first win of the tournament.
