On Monday, the debutants had a harsh welcome to the event after suffering a humiliating nine-wicket defeat against defending champions Uganda. The team was bowled out for 39 runs and then the Ugandans chased down the runs in eight overs.

Today, the team hopes to up its performance when they clash with tournament guests Zambia.
