West Indies thrashed newcomer Uganda by 134 runs in its T20 World Cup Group C match here with left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein returning a five-wicket haul.
West Indies, making use of the familiarity with the home conditions and vital contributions from its batters, especially Johnson Charles (44) and Andre Russell (30 not out), put up an impressive 173 for five on the board.
