1 year ago 69

West Indies will look to secure their second consecutive win of the ICC T20 World Cup when they take on Uganda at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Saturday.

Both teams are coming off victories in their openers, both over the same opponents Papua New Guinea.

The West Indies are odds on to make it two in a row as they seek a third hold on the world title, while Uganda will look to build on their historic first ever win at the world cup.

Roston Chase, who starred in the win over Papua New Guinea, says the West Indies must limit the number of dot balls when they bat.

He points to the U.S surprised win over Pakistan as evidence no team can be taken lightly.
