Uganda opener Roger Mukasa's maiden century gave the visitors their second successive win over Bermuda in Hamilton.
A hurricane threat over the weekend forced the home board to cancel the two scheduled 50-over games and convert the Twenty20 to be played on Monday into a 50-over affair - the last national fixture for coach Gus Logie, whose contract with Bermuda will run out shortly.

This is good news for Uganda, though sad for Bermuda and Gus Logie. I sincerely believe Uganda, albeit with a depleted line-up in Hamilton, are the up-and-coming team in Africa. They have good basic organisation, a good Under-19 team, and the game is reported properly in their press - unlike in Kenya next door - and the game's popularity is consequently rising. Let's hope Bermuda can claw their way back from their current nadir, but good luck to Uganda in their future games.

I agree with Colin.
In 2007, just before the inaugral T20 World Cup, Uganda featured in a four nation tournament in Kenya. Pakistan and Srilanka were the other two teams. Uganda managed a victory against the hosts Kenya.

Great to see cricket becoming popular in other parts of the world, teams like Uganda & Afganistan should be encouraged. It is a shame that even after 130 years of Test Cricket, we don't have 10 equally good teams playing cricket.
