Kenya vs Uganda: match preview on 19 September 2026

Uganda maintain their advantage over Kenya

Uganda defeated Kenya 197 to 150 in the ILT20 Africa Continent cup on 18 September 2026. The result confirmed the visitors' superiority in the fixture, extending their head-to-head record against their neighbours to four wins in the last six meetings. Both sides entered the match with identical records of seven wins and one loss, sitting level on fourteen points after eight matches.

The scoreline reflected a comprehensive performance by the visitors. Kenya had won their previous meeting with Uganda on 12 September 2026 by a margin of four runs, but the visitors responded with a commanding twenty-seven-run victory in this encounter. Uganda also won their most recent match against Rwanda 188 to 116, while Kenya had secured a close win over Botswana 216 to 152 in their previous outing.

The statistics show that Uganda have now taken the top position in the table, displacing Kenya who remain second. Both teams have played eight matches and scored a combined total of over 1,600 runs in their last five games each, indicating a high-scoring format where batting depth proved decisive. Uganda's aggregate score of 755 runs in five matches compares to Kenya's 864 runs, but the visitors converted opportunity more effectively in this specific fixture.

The victory maintains Uganda's momentum in the tournament, where they have lost only once. Kenya's defeat brings their losing tally to one, matching their record from the start of the campaign. The result does not alter the total points for either side beyond the single victory, but it provides Uganda with the psychological edge in the race for first place.
