Toss Uganda opt to bowl vs Afghanistan

Afghanistan picked three spinners - captain Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi - but there was no room for Noor Ahmad. Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib were the seam-bowling options for them. Afghanistan are one of the tournament's dark horses, especially after their excellent showing in the ODI World Cup last year. However, they have a stiff group to tackle at this World Cup with co-hosts West Indies and New Zealand also in Group C.

Afghanistan: 1 Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), 2 Ibrahim Zadran, 3 Gulbadin Naib, 4 Azmatullah Omarzai, 5 Mohammad Nabi, 6 Najibullah Zadran, 7 Rashid Khan (capt), 8 Karim Janat, 9 Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 10 Naveen-ul-Haq, 11 Fazalhaq Farooqi

Uganda: 1 Roger Mukasa, 2 Simon Ssesazi (wk), 3 Ronak Patel, 4 Riazat Shah, 5 Dinesh Nakrani, 6 Robinson Obuya, 7 Alpesh Ramjani, 8 Brian Masaba (capt), 9 Bilal Hassan, 10 Cosmas Kyewuta, 11 Henry Ssenyondo
