It will be experience verses agility when Uganda’s veteran cricketers ‘Bagurusi’ take on the national cricket team today at Kicukiro.

After a fascinating Twenty20 game yesterday, the two teams will square up today for a 35-over game. Although most of the Ugandans have not played competitive cricket in a long time, the national team should expect a stiff challenge.

"These guys have the experience and skill so we wont take them lightly,” Srinath Vardhineni said.

The Ugandans jetted in on Friday and the three day tour has been sponsored by Sekanyola, Carlsberg and Abacus pharmaceutical.
