Group A
New Zealand beat Uganda by 122 runs
Scorecard
After their opening loss to Bangladesh on Sunday, New Zealand finally clicked into shape on Tuesday against Uganda. Uganda's captain Hamza Almuzahim put New Zealand into bat who piled up 259 for 6. Despite 67 from Todd Astle, they slipped to 152 for 5 and were indebted to Kieran Noema-Barnett (67) and Ronald Karaitiana (43*) to take them to their respectable total. Uganda, too, showed signs of improvement; their bowling was incisive and accurate and a vast development on their effort against Pakistan on Monday. Uganda were then blown away for 137 although, to their credit, they nearly survived the full 50 overs. Dean Bartlett took 5 for 30, including the top four Ugandans, while their captain, Hamza Almuzahim, top-scored with 27.
