The 2022 Uganda Cricket World Cup Challenge League B was the second round of matches in Group B of the 2019–2022 Cricket World Cup Challenge League, a cricket tournament which formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[1][2] All of the matches had List A status.[3] The tournament took place in June 2022 in Uganda.[4][5]

In October 2019, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the Uganda Cricket Association (UGA) would host the tournament,[6][7] with the series scheduled to take place between 3 and 13 August 2020.[8] However, on 10 June 2020, the ICC confirmed that the tournament had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10] In February 2022, the tournament was rescheduled for June 2022,[11][12] with the fixtures announced in May 2022.[13][14]

Jersey won all five of their matches in Uganda, to close the gap on Uganda and Hong Kong at the top of the group table.[15] Conversely, Bermuda lost all five of their matches, resulting in them being eliminated from reaching the World Cup Qualifier Play-off.[16]
