Pearl of Africa T20I Series 2025: Full schedule, timings, squads and live streaming details

A one-of-a-kind, quadrangular T20I series is set to be played between Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and the United Arab Emirates starting from July 17. Uganda are hosting the tournament with all the matches set to be played at the Entebbe Cricket Oval in Entebbe. 

A total of 11 matches will be played, with each team facing the other twice. The opening game of the tournament will take place between Kenya and Nigeria and will commence at 4 PM IST. The rest of the matches will be played either at 12:30 PM IST or 4:30 PM IST.

The UAE seem to be the most experienced side among these four teams. Under the captaincy of Muhammad Waseem, the team has done well recently too including their historic series win over Bangladesh at home. However, they cannot take things for granted with the likes Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria also looking to punch above their weight.

Italy recently defeated Scotland, while Jersey also brushed aside Scotland in the T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier. This proves how fickle the T20 format is and any team can surprise on any given day.
