Uganda qualified for their maiden T20 World Cup in 2024, after finishing as runners-up of the Africa regional qualifier. They were unable to make it past the group stage but managed to secure one victory against Papua New Guinea. In their maiden run at the tournament, they recorded the joint-lowest total at the T20 World Cup after they were bowled out for 39 against West Indies. ^[1]
