What you need to know:

  • Kenya’s target in the competition is to seal a final berth--a task, which promises to be tough since only the top two teams in the pools will progress to the semi-finals
  • Patel added that with the wickets in Accra expected to be slow, they will target posting about 150 runs and defend it by restricting the opponents well


Kenya will face a tough test against Uganda on Sunday, as they seek to make a perfect start to their campaign in men’s cricket in the African Games in Accra, Ghana.

The Group 'A' match will bowl off at 1:50pm local time (4:50pm Kenyan time) at the Achimota Senior Secondary School B Field.
