Uganda's Frank Nsubuga has etched his name into the annals of cricket history by delivering the most economical four-over spell in T20 World Cup history. During Uganda's Group C match against Papua New Guinea at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, Nsubuga's remarkable figures read 4 overs, 2 maidens, 4 runs, and 2 wickets.
Nsubuga's economical spell played a pivotal role in Uganda's victory, as they dismissed half of PNG's side for under 50 runs in the 11th over. His first wicket came when he clean bowled Charles Amini for 5, followed by the dismissal of Hiri Hiri (15) via lbw. Uganda eventually bowled out PNG for a meager 77 runs in 19.1 overs.
Nsubuga's exceptional performance was not the only highlight for Uganda. Alpesh Ramani (2 for 17), Cosmas Kyewuta (2 for 17), and Juma Miyagi (2/10) also contributed with two wickets each.
Uganda, who are making their T20 World Cup debut, had previously suffered a heavy defeat to Afghanistan in their opening match. PNG, on the other hand, had lost to co-hosts West Indies.
Nsubuga's economical spell is a testament to his skill and experience. The 43-year-old left-arm spinner has been a mainstay of the Ugandan cricket team for many years and has played a key role in their rise through the ranks.
Uganda's victory over PNG is a significant achievement for the team and a source of pride for the nation. It demonstrates their determination and ability to compete at the highest level of international cricket.
