Match Preview
Papua New Guinea opened their World Cup campaign against West Indies, having lost by five wickets while defending a below-par score of 137. Despite the loss, they impressed many with their spirited bowling performance on a slow pitch, making the two-time champions work hard for the victory.
Uganda, on the other hand, also displayed glimpses of promise in their opening encounter against Afghanistan. Although they found themselves in a tough position early on while bowling, they tightened their grip towards the end, conceding no boundaries in the last five overs and picking up five wickets in the final 33 deliveries.
However, their batting fell short big time, managing only 58 runs in reply to Afghanistan’s mammoth 184. They will be looking to address this inconsistency and put up a more well-rounded performance against PNG.
