No Excitement for T20 World Cup 2024 as Match Played in Empty Stadiums
The second match of the T20 World Cup 2024 between West Indies and Papua New Guinea was played in empty stands.
The much-anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 kicked off its Caribbean leg in Guyana on Sunday, but the atmosphere at the Providence Stadium was far from celebratory.
While the West Indies faced off against Papua New Guinea, the vast majority of the seats remained empty at Providence Stadium, Guyana.
Images circulating online showed large sections of the stadium devoid of fans, raising questions about the support for the Windies and the T20 World Cup 2024 in the region.
On the other hand, some argue that the match timing was poorly chosen for Guyana. The match was scheduled to align with Indian standard time, which ultimately proved disadvantageous for the co-host West Indies.
