I agree with you. Two decades ago the Kenyan squad had several world-class players. This team could have done well against the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe back then. But in between the Kenya team was almost lost. Their performance deteriorated badly. And we haven't seen a Kenyan team regularly in cricket for a long time. But in the last 2/3 years, Kenya wants to back cricket again. And slowly this group is improving. Compared to teams like Uganda, the Kenyan team is experienced. I hope Kenya's win against Uganda will prove their mettle.

I have noticed some improvement in the performance of the Kenyan team. But now the situation is much different. Teams like Namibia and Uganda are much ahead of them. And 75% of the squad is now comprised of Asian origin players (two decades ago, 75% were native). I am still hopeful of a turnaround, but it will take them a long time to recover from the backstabbing that they received from the ICC. The positive thing is that because of social media, the ICC can no longer ignore the associate nations. In recent past they have seen an increase in funding.

Kenya failed to win their last match against Uganda. Kenya lost by 33 runs against Uganda in the T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier match. Kenya will definitely want to defeat the Ugandan team in today's match. I would say Kenya and Uganda are almost equally strong teams. Both teams have equal chances of winning. In the group stage match against Rwanda, Uganda lost by 2 runs. So if the Kenyan bowlers can do well in today's match as well then they have a chance to win. Kenya will not be able to beat a team like Uganda without good performance from the bowlers.

Two decades ago, Kenya had some world class players in their squad, such as Maurice Odumbe, Steve Tikolo, Collins Obuya, Thomas Odoyo and Ravindu Shah. But those times are long gone. Once the golden generation retired from cricket, they went downhill. Only Collins Obuya is still with them. Now the squad is primarily composed of Indian origin players. Kenya is a prime example where the ICC actually managed to destroy cricket. Anyway, now Uganda and Namibia are the strongest associate sides from African continent. Kenya is nowhere in picture.

Uganda vs Kenya

So today is the final and the match is going to be interesting. Because both teams are good and but I think Kenya will win this match. But there is a problem whenever a team won the all the matches of a Cup at the end they lose in final hahaha! Like we have an example of Indian yeam in ICC world cup. By yhe way my best wishes are with Kenya.

Uganda is favourite to win this final match. Is last year semi final match Uganda and Kenya. Uganda won this match by 3 wickets by DLS method. Kenya batting first and set a low target 105 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 18 overs. From Kenya Irfan Karim batting well scored 48 runs in 43 balls. Uganda bowling performance is outstanding Cosmas Kyewuta picked up 4 important wicktes and Juma Miyagi picked 2 important wicktes by giving 13 runs. Uganda chase down the target 107 runs in loss of 7 wickets in last over match beacuse fo batting performance of Riazat Ali Shah scored 48 runs in 43 balls. If kenya set a good target then they will this final against Uganda.

In my opinion, that oction is in start. Record will be break on Viral Kohli and Rohit Sharma because Indian businessmans invest money in their own batsmans. They invest on foreign players but they prefer first their own players. Indian IPL investor will break the record and they will end the oction on big players like MS Dhoni.

It seems like you don't know much about the IPL frankly speaking. Players like MSD, Kohli etc aren't on the auction table because their respective teams retained them for obvious reasons.

Also, it's auction(Not oction). Do your research before randomly stating stuff here and there.

If you look at the recent matches, then Kenya has always lost one to one matches against Uganda in both T20 and ODI formats. Kenya is not the same team that reached the semi-finals of the 2003 World Cup. Once the golden generation players retired, the team simply disintegrated. And at that time Srinivasan-Pawar mafia took control of the ICC and stopped funding the associate nations. Game died down completely and by the time Shashank Manohar tried to rectify the mistakes, it was too late. Anyway, Uganda has made rapid progress during the last few years. So they will be the favorites.

Uganda won the toss and first decided bowling. Botswana batsman makes 8 run in 3 over and Uganda no any wicket against Botswana batsman. Botswana batsman could not worked hard and struggle. Botswana batsman makes 32 run in 11 over and 4 outs. This is very bad condition for Botswana batsman. Botswana could not played very well. Botswana batsman makes 62 run in 20 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Uganda batsman. This is very easy target for Uganda batsman. Uganda batsman complete this target and won the match. Uganda batsman makes 63 run in 6 over and 0 outs. Uganda bowler could worked hard and struggle and won the match.The Botswana batsmen did not show any effort. If they make more than 150 runs. But their bowlers could control them.

I was expecting that performance from Botswana they jut made 62 runs and all team out and Uganda chase the target with in 5.2 overs excellent played Uganda.
In the second semifinal rain was there and Kenya gave the target of 139 runs and due to rain Malwi has 44 runs target in 5 overs and they made only 39 runs.
So now we have the Final match Between

Kenya won by 4 wickets against Malawi by DLS method in second semi final. The player of the match is Neil Mugabe for his amazing batting performances scored 56 runs unbeaten in just 42 balls. Keny batting first scored 138 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Rushab Patel played well scored important 32 runs in just 25 bslls. Mawi bowling performance is good Donnex Kansonkho bowling outstanding picked 4 crucial wickets by giving 16 runs in 3 overs and Moazzam Baig picked 1 wicket. By DLS method target is shorter and Malawi scored 39 runs in loss of 2 wickets in 5 overs.

Malawi also batted well they were just short of 4 5 runs as the target was 44 and they were on 39. So, they loss their easy game against Kenya. Although the team Kenya was good since the matches that they won recently. And also the target of 44 runs is not too much In 5 overs. The target was easily achievable as now a days the batting and the bowling is too fast for each team and that is the way that mostly players really bat well and they won their matches for their teams which are a good step for the cricket fans.

I would actually like to see the teams that build from scratch. Because I do not want to see the same players play for the same team for a long period of time. Because what's the point of having a tournament like this then?

That actually happens during mega auction, to most extent, here, franchises are only allowed to retain 4 players (this was case in 2022's mega auction, prior to it was 5), so team's have to build remaining squad from scratch unlike mini auctions where there is no limit to retained players, so teams remain more or less same.

Although that was a high scorin match between the Team West Indies and Team England because both the teams gave their strong batting line up although in the previous matches of the World cup if we see the overall performance of the team England batsmen in the World Cup that was not even that good but now in the series they are playing a good cricket and they aere proving themselves to be a better team.

Here we go people. IPL 2024 auction time. Sam Curran's preposterous 18.5 cr bid will most probably be broken by someone being bought for 20+ cr and that someone could be Daryll Mitchell in my opinion.

Shahrukh Khan will probably get the highest bid for an uncapped player thanks to his finishing skills. Excited!

In my opinion, that oction is in start. Record will be break on Viral Kohli and Rohit Sharma because Indian businessmans invest money in their own batsmans. They invest on foreign players but they prefer first their own players. Indian IPL investor will break the record and they will end the oction on big players like MS Dhoni.

Now it's time for investors to make money . They will invest on big players especially prety zenta will invest on Maxx well and now Maxwell is in form batsman. And prety zenta will make the new record in my opinion.

As we are having early media reports this time we are going to have new records for investment with few players are under radar to have historic amounts and for me Australians can break the records because currently they are at their best in all formats even this huge amount never pay back rightly many times IPL most expensive players fall like crap as we have Sam Curran who was completely failure and few more examples are available but IPL is all about money and personal likes so lets watch now in this season who is going to have huge amounts from rich Indians.
I am feeling not good about Rohit Sharma because this is not a good way to sidelined him Mumbai Indians officials needs to do something different for his long services for this franchise because without doubt he was one of the best in this team for long time.

-.- I also see standings table of this competition Kenya squad total played three matches against these squads Botswana, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Kenya squad has emerged fight against all of these squads. But in current match, their performance was going good in batting inning and better than previous match. With batting of three overs, their batters collected 18 scores with no lost of batter. Rushab Patel batter successfully collected 13 scores by playing 10 deliveries and other starter batter Collins Obuya also collected 2 scores by batting 5 deliveries, I hope these batters build up strong and long batting combination and made much runs for their squad. Malawi sqaud also seems strong and we do not underestimate the performance of these squads.

@libert19, On the batting we may expect Head, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin will probably go for the highest bid and I expect this year we may see new record for costliest buy since the many teams have huge purse. Previous costliest sold player Sam Curran– Rs 18.50 Cr. – Punjab Kings (2023).

History has shown, costly players usually don't play up to their cost, so hopefully bidders won't overdo it. I feel players also feel pressure due to high purchase, pressure to play good and in return they do worse.

Damn, true. Sam Curran, Benstokes, Yuvi, Pat cummins can be the best examples for this while contrastingly players bagged at the base price is becoming the future part of the teams and the best example is Rinku who is banging the doors for finisher spot in 2024 T20 WC.

I am excited to see the Auction tomorrow because few teams released a lot of their players and need to build from the scratch now.

A lot of times they bring in players for a huge amount of money and the player also comes into the team with a lot of expectations. But in the end, he does not perform as well as he was supposed to. And that causes a lot of problems. Because most of the time the team is made around him. So it starts to be a big problem for the team.

I would actually like to see the teams that build from scratch. Because I do not want to see the same players play for the same team for a long period of time. Because what's the point of having a tournament like this then?

Botswana sqaud was begun this match for batting inning first by calling of Ugnada squad. In this match, Uganda squad was terrible and too good in all innings. In beginning of match, Uganda squad clear out all squad's batters of Botswana sqaud only for 62 scores but they played all overs and in last delivery their all squad wiped out. Then, Uganda squad batting inning, they easily defended this low quality target after playing 5.2 overs, only starter batter enough for this defending target. Next second semi final match will be played after some time in between Kenya squad against Malawi sqaud.

Kenya has beaten Malawi and they will play against Uganda in the final. It was no surprise they won, but the match was very close. Kenya gave a target of 139 but after DLS it was required to score 44 runs in 5 overs for Malawi. Malawi came very close and fell 5 runs short.

Kenya vs Uganda will happen tomorrow. I believe Kenya will take it all. I hope Kenya wins the upcoming match and return to their old days of glory. They used to be a good team and used to play bilateral series against some of the good teams currently like Bangladesh. But now they have become a team which nobody knows about. They are making a return.

In 1st semi final Uganda won toss and bowls first Botswana made only 62 runs in 20 overs excellent bowling by Uganda bowlers Bilal Hassun takes 8/3 wickets in 4 overs Uganda chase down the target 65 in 6th overs without lost of any wicket Ssesazi 34 runs on 16 and Roger mukasa 26 on 16 balls help Uganda team to chased the target early Uganda won 1st semi final by 10 wickets Uganda played well start of the tournament while Botswana failed to set big target in semi final which causes lost single handedly

How bad Botswana played today. Couldn't able to gives a good target in the crucial semi final match. All their hardworking comes to an end with a worst performance. 62 runs in 20 overs and 65 runs in 5 overs show the strength of Uganda team. Batting score card from Botswana laugh me. No player is able to score a good runs. How shame is that the highest score is 13 and 3 player out with duck. bilal hassan,Ssenyondo,Alpesh Ramjani and Masaba all have great balling performance today. Batting is also remarkable as how good they are to chase target in just 5 overs. i think Uganda will win this final.
