Nigeria and Uganda have qualified for the 2027 Africa Regional Final on the route to the 2028 men’s T20 World Cup. Nigeria finished with five wins from five; Uganda recorded four wins. ICC reports Nigeria won their final meeting by one run after posting 148. Match memory: with Uganda needing three to win from the last ball, Juma Miyaji was run out attempting a second run.
