After the USA’s T20 World Cup 2024 opener against Canada in Dallas, the West Indies will begin their journey in the ongoing edition of the prestigious competition later on Sunday (June 2) by taking on Papua New Guinea (PNG) at Providence Stadium, Guyana.

With Rovman Powell at the helm, the West Indies would love to take their T20 World Cup-winners tally from two to three. They have quite a few superheroes in their mix, with Andre Russell and Nicholas Pooran being the main trump cards in an attempt to bring the glory back to the Caribbean.

Conversely, PNG will be led by none other than their inspirational leader, Assad Vala. They have the talent, of course, but they need to be way stronger on the field if they want to pull off a miraculous task.

Providence Stadium Pitch Report

The West Indies played two T20Is at Providence Stadium last year. Scores were under 160 across four innings in both matches, which suggests the pitches here offer a balanced track for the players. Therefore, batters and bowlers can all shine if they get the momentum right. 

In addition, chasing teams will get a greater advantage here, as both fixtures were won by the team batting second last year.

Both spinners and fast bowlers can be effective at this venue, assuring that PNG might refrain from getting a thrashing to kick things off against the mighty hard-hitters from the West Indies.
