Papua New Guinea vs Uganda Live Score and Updates: Post-match comments
Brian Masaba - Uganda captain: Pretty special win for us, first win at the World Cup. Super proud of this group of boys, it's very special. It's been quite a journey - 3-4 years of hard work. Getting to WC was special, this is more special. Our execution was much better, the ability to adjust and execute the plans, super proud of the bowling. (Seamers' plan) Hard length, wicket-to-wicket, we knew that the wicket was two-placed and it worked in our favour. When you are three down early, we knew it's going to be tough. Every run they scored in that partnership was special and important. Kudos to them to keep their heads down and doing the job for the team. We've got a pretty special group of fans. These guys have travelled halfway around the world to come and support us. It's the least we can do for them. Back home, there's huge following. We salute and appreciate them.
Assad Vala - Papua New Guinea captain: Difficult wicket to bat on. Not just for us, for them as well. Runs around 100 was enough, we couldn't add up. We lost crucial wickets at crucial times and a lot of soft dismissals. We spoke that it was a tough wicket to start. We put them under pressure. When defending a low score, you have to get those chances and also a lot of extras we gave away. They batted well. We need to take chances, we need to be at our best. We need to adapt quickly.
Lowest run-rates in a Men’s T20 WC match
Riazat Ali - Player of the Match: It wasn't the easy wicket to bat on, we had also lost wickets when I went in, the target was far away. The message (from the management) was the same, score singles and rotate strike. First win of the WC, it's special, it's really amazing, thanks to our bowlers, also our supporters who always support and pray for us. Despite losing the first match, we knew we had talent and we came here to win.
