The second match of the 2024 T20 World Cup will start soon in Guyana. Co-hosts West Indies will be in action against a rookie Papua New Guinea squad. PNG are playing only their second T20 World Cup, whereas the Caribbean side has won the T20 World Cup trophy twice.

It will likely be a lopsided battle in Guyana, but fans have witnessed some crazy upsets in the T20 World Cup before. PNG fans will expect their team to give the West Indies side a run for their money.

If West Indies register a massive win, they can not only earn two points in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group C, but they can also give a big boost to their net run rate.
