Veteran spinner Frank Nsubuga created history in Guyana on Wednesday as Uganda registered their first ever victory at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with a three-wicket triumph over Papua New Guinea.
In his first T20 World Cup appearance at 43 years of age, Nsubuga collected figures of 2/4 to help bowl out Papua New Guinea for just 77 at the Guyana National Stadium and the African nation held their nerve to chase down that total with 10 deliveries remaining.

The four runs conceded by Nsubuga was the fewest by any bowler in the history of the Men’s T20 World Cup to have bowled their full allotment of four overs, going past the seven runs South Africa quick Anrich Nortje conceded in the Proteas’ match against Sri Lanka earlier in the tournament.
