West Indies vs PNG Live Score and Updates- Match 2, ICC T20 World Cup 2024

West Indies and Papua New Guinea will clash in the highly anticipated match number 2 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Providence Stadium, Guyana on Sunday, June 2.

West Indies (Team News)

West Indies begin their Caribbean leg of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Papua New Guinea at Providence. Having won the trophy in 2012 and 2016, the West Indies have struggled in the last two editions.

In 2021, they managed only one win in five matches, resulting in a Super 12s exit. In 2022, their campaign was even more disappointing as they failed to reach the Super 12s, losing to Ireland and Scotland in the opening round.

Papua New Guinea (Team News) 

Papua New Guinea (PNG) might seem an easy challenger on paper. However, given the West Indies’ unpredictable nature, a slip-up wouldn’t be entirely surprising. PNG brings an aging squad but one that is not inexperienced on the big stage.

While PNG is keen to assert its dominance over the other Associate team in the group, Uganda, they have nothing to lose in their attempts to pressure the three Full Members.

A loss to PNG could jeopardize West Indies’ chances of advancing to the next round. Most of their players are coming off a hectic IPL schedule, which, while beneficial in terms of experience, requires quick adaptation to the slower home conditions.
