Kampala — After a tension packed win over neighbours Kenya by five wickets, Uganda's teenagers will be out to increase on their chances of advancing to the qualifier for the World U-19 Cricket World Cup when they take on Zambia today.
Knowing that they still have to negotiate their way past hosts Namibia and a stubborn Sierra Leone, the teenagers have a big task of winning all their remaining encounters.
And coach Sam Walusimbi, one of Uganda's most refined batsmen during his playing days, has given the teenagers tips on how to not only handle pressure, but also bat with minds set on the targets they are supposed to achieve.
Unbeaten Namibia will be taking on Kenya, who will need to recover from their loss to Uganda on Tuesday, in order to stay in contention for advancing. The top two advance to the global qualifiers.
