Pitch Report
The pitch at the Entebbe Cricket Oval is a touch on the slower side with runs being hard to come by in the middle overs. Although the pacers will get some swing early on, the batters will look to attack them early on. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs, making for a good contest between bat and ball. Wickets in hand will be key for either side, with 140 being a good total at the venue.
