In match 5 of the T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan and debutants Uganda open their Group C campaign at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence, Guyana on Monday (June 3).

This will be Afghanistan's seventh appearance in the shortest format World Cup tournament, while Uganda will be featuring in the show-piece tournament in any format for the first time.

Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan start favourites in the match as the Asian side features several players with massive T20 experience, having played on the international stage as well as major T20 leagues across the world.

Uganda led by Brian Masaba, on the other hand, also come into the tournament with plenty of experience in the squad despite qualifying for the T20 World Cup for the very first time. They secured a spot by comfortably defeating Rwanda in their last match of the Africa region qualifier.

The Asian side Afghanistan, who stunned several big names in last year's ODI World Cup, come into the tournament on the back of mixed form, having won only four of their last 10 T20Is.

With five wins in six games, Uganda was the standout team alongside Namibia in the Africa Qualifier as they sealed their berth in the mega event. Uganda have a stellar record leading up to the tournament with 41 wins in their last 49 T20Is, a win percentage of 83.67 percent.
