Afghanistan vs Uganda Scorecard and Highlights: Post-match comments
Rashid Khan - Afghanistan captain: This is the kind of start we wanted as a team. We have worked hard for the last 2-3 weeks. Great effort overall. Proud feeling to be leading the team in a World Cup. Tough games coming up, so it's about keeping it simple and giving your 100%. So many options in all phases of the game with this line-up. Lucky to have the bowlers who can bowl at any stage. 2023 World Cup gave us so much confidence and the belief that we can beat any team. It's about keeping it simple and focusing on our game rather than thinking about the opponents. Big game coming up against New Zealand. For me more than the result how and what sort of effort we put in will matter more.
Brian Masaba - Uganda captain: Special moment to hear our national anthem and see our flag at the World Cup. It's a moment that I will cherish for the rest of my life. They got a pretty good start. It was about fighting back and I thought we pulled it back pretty well at the end with the ball. Credit to them for playing well. One of the top bowling sides. Good seamers and quality spinners. We will look to bounce back better against PNG

Afghanistan vs Uganda Live Score and Updates: Comments a toss
Rashid Khan - Afghanistan captain: In T20s, you need to play a good brand of cricket, we would focus on the game rather than toss and things like that. It's a special moment for Uganda, Afghanistan was there 10-12 years ago at the same stage, it's something special for them and for us as well. Afghanistan are famous for the quality spinners and we are well prepared for the conditions.
Brian Masaba - Uganda captain: We will bowl first. Looks like a pitch where we are not sure what's a good score and we would like to chase. The idea is to grow cricket in the world and teams like Uganda, Papua New Guines need to be playing more cricket. We are very excited to be here. We needed to get information about the conditions and the previous game here helped us do that

Afghanistan (Team News)
Afghanistan's cricket journey has been meteoric, moving up the World Cricket League divisions swiftly, while Uganda slipped back into the Associate pack. Despite both teams qualifying for subsequent World Cup Qualifiers, Afghanistan continued their upward trajectory, becoming a dark-horse semi-finalist contender with their strong spin attack.
Uganda (Team News)
Uganda, on the other hand, arrives at the tournament in good form, having won all but five of their 35 T20Is played in the past year, albeit mostly in Africa. Their record outside the continent is less impressive, and facing a full member like Afghanistan in unfamiliar conditions poses a tough challenge.
