West Indies will face Papua New Guinea in the 2nd T20 World Cup 2024 match on Sunday, June 2, 2024, at Providence Stadium, Guyana. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the WI vs PNG match.
Match Preview
The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 kicks off today with a clash between tournament hosts, West Indies, and Papua New Guinea at the Guyana National Stadium. The Windies, under skipper Rovman Powell, will be looking to capitalize on home advantage and get their campaign off to a winning start.
West Indies come into the match brimming with confidence after a dominating performance in their warm-up matches. A convincing 35-run victory against Australia, coupled with a clean sweep in the T20I series against South Africa, is enough to threaten the opposition.
Papua New Guinea, on the other hand, will be looking to cause an upset. While they haven’t won a game in the T20 World Cup before, their recent narrow loss to Oman and a DLS method victory over Namibia in the warm-up matches suggest they shouldn’t be taken lightly.
