  • Uganda won by 117 runs to claim the 5th place playoff semifinal victory 

Uganda defeated Malawi by a commanding 117 runs in the 5th Place Play-off 2nd Semi-Final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final 2025 at Takashinga Sports Club, Harare on Thursday.

Winning the toss, Uganda elected to bat first and posted a formidable total of 192 for 3 in their full quota of 20 overs. Shreyas Verma was the star with a blistering 88 off 41 balls, supported by Raghav Dhawan’s calm unbeaten 50, helping Uganda set a high target. Malawi struggled in reply and could manage only 75 for 6 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the mark.

Uganda’s bowlers ran through the Malawi batting order with Alpesh Ramjani claiming a key four-wicket haul while Innocent Mwebaze and Dinesh Nakrani chipped in with crucial breakthroughs. Malawi’s batsmen found it difficult to get going against the disciplined bowling attack and lost wickets at regular intervals. Aaftab Limdawala top-scored with a patient 22, but the lower order failed to provide any substantial resistance to contain the Uganda total.
