At one stage Uganda, the hot favourites, had slumped to 79 for 7, after being asked to bat, with Argentina captain Esteban MacDermott, who was later adjudged player of the tournament, taking three wickets. However Frank Nsubuga, who made 55 from 38 balls, and Laurence Sematimba added a vital 80 for the eight wicket. Sematimba and Patrick Ochan, 56 from 34 balls, then posted 82 for the ninth wicket as Uganda reached 241 for 8. Nsubuga outstanding all-round day continued, taking 4 for 27 as Argentina were bowled out for 150 in the 47th over.

Congrats to Uganda but Argentina did themselves proud too considering they were the 8th seeded. Now you guys have to look forward to division two and work hard to qualify for the qualifier; never let a team of ex pats beat you! Power to the home grown teams! haha

It would be great if both these teams qualify for the world cup in the Indian Subcontinent. I think Uganda has some talented players while Argentina qualifying will raise the profile of the game in South America. I know Guyana (West Indies) is in South America, but I feel its time we had a an independent cricketing nation from South America that was decent and at least up to the standards of teams like Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Kenya, etc.

i have a question!! what is the real age of Patrick Ochan? I played against him in East Africa cup U-19 in 2000-01, 6 years ago. he was certainly not 12, more close to 16-17 but the guy never seems to grow older than 18. lol.
