Uganda claims first-ever T20 WC victory with win over Papua New Guinea

Uganda claimed a three-wicket victory over Papua New Guinea at Providence Stadium on Wednesday in a low-scoring but tense encounter. The African side bowled out PNG for 77 and after struggling at 26-5 in reply reached the target in 18.2 overs with Riazat Ali Shah top-scoring with 33. Riazat put on a crucial sixth-wicket partnership of 35 with Juma Miyagi (13) which effectively won the game for the tournament debutants.
