Alzarri Joseph to Frank Nsubuga, no run
OUT! CASTLED! All over for Uganda! Alzarri Joseph completes the formalities! Charges in from over the wicket and attacks the off pole, on a good length, Frank Nsubuga opts to stay leg side of the ball and tries to cover the line of the ball as he looks to defend it out.

Uganda have been rolled over for 39, the joint-lowest total for a team in the history of Men's T20 World Cups. West Indies win by 134 runs and make it two wins out of two.
