They sit above Ghana and Mozambique, who occupy fifth and sixth positions respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda lead the six-team table with a perfect record of four wins from four matches and eight points, while Nigeria and Rwanda are second and third with six points each. Nigeria has a net run rate of 3.789, followed by Uganda on 3.608 and Rwanda on 1.501.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sierra Leone\u2019s position reflects a challenging campaign, although their sole victory came in their previous outing against Mozambique, when they secured an eight-wicket win after restricting Mozambique to 89 all out and reaching 93 for two in 13 overs. (ICC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clash with Uganda therefore presented a difficult test for Sierra Leone, with Uganda entering the contest unbeaten and already among the leading teams in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tournament is part of the qualification pathway for the 2028 ICC U19 Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup, with the top three teams advancing to the 2027 Africa Qualifier.
