West Indies vs Uganda: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
West Indies and Uganda will lock horns against each other in Group C clash as the two teams face for the first time in the format. Here are the best bets for this West Indies vs Uganda match.
Alzarri Joseph to be West Indies top bowler – 10Cric @ 3.3, BET HERE
Alzarri Joseph’s pace might turn out to be too much for Uganda’s inexeperienced batters who haven’t been great in this tournament so far.
Brandon King to be top batter of West Indies- 1xBet @ 3.6, BET HERE
Brandon King is one of the in-form batters for the West Indies coming into the World Cup. He opens the innings as well and has a great chance to score most runs in the Caribbean line-up.
Highest individual score in match – Under 62.5 – Parimatch @1.85, BET HERE
This is a little risky bet but it will all depend on toss. If Uganda are batting first, then one can bank on this odds as they might not post a big total on the board.

Head-to-Head Record West Indies vs Uganda
West Indies and Uganda are facing each other for the first time in T20Is.
West Indies
West Indies defeated Papua New Guinea in their opening match of the T20 World Cup. However, they stuttered in the chase of 137 runs taking almost 19 overs to gun the total down. But their bowling was on point and will be expected to romp past the Uganda team as well.
Uganda
Uganda were thrashed by Afghanistan by 125 runs in their opener but the team came back well to beat PNG in their second game and create history. They will be confident of putting up a proper fight against the hosts and give them a run for their money. While the bowling has been on point, Uganda batters have struggled in testing conditions and they will have to show some fight.
