The second match of the 2024 T20 World Cup will begin soon. Two-time champions West Indies will be up against rookies Papua New Guinea at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
West Indies will start as the overwhelming favorites to win today's game. They decimated the Australian bowling attack in the warm-up match, and they also have the home advantage. Meanwhile, PNG do not have much experience of playing against the higher-ranked cricket teams.
A lopsided game is expected in Guyana tonight. Before the 2024 T20 World Cup match starts, here's a short preview of the WI vs PNG clash.
