T20 World Cup 2024 Match 2, WI vs PNG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s T20 World Cup match between WI vs PNG

In this article, we will analyze the T20 World Cup 2024 for the WI vs PNG Match Prediction of Match 2 at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Sunday, June 02. The coveted ICC T20I World Cup 2024 is set to be a thrilling spectacle, with 20 teams battling it out in the USA and the West Indies. Two-time champions West Indies (WI) are aiming to reclaim their former glory after a period of inconsistency. Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea (PNG) enter their second T20I World Cup eager to secure their first win after three losses in 2021.

However, their batting form has been worrying after failing to surpass 140 runs in practice matches. Their challenge doesn’t get any easier as they face the formidable Caribbean side known for their explosive batting prowess. The hosts are high on confidence as they outclassed Australia in the practice game amassing 257 runs batting first and restricting Aussies to 222.

Providence Stadium, Guyana Pitch Report

At Providence, the pitch is likely to be slow with some early moisture aiding the bowlers’ movement. Expect average scores ranging from 160 to 180 runs, given the Windies’ power batting lineup those stats might disappear. Guyana’s climate will be hot and humid, with a touch of dew later on. Teams may opt to bowl first, aiming to limit the opposition to a below-average total.

WI vs PNG Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran has been in fine touch coming out of the IPL 2024. Playing for Lucknow Super Giants he was entrusted with late onslaught as he batted majorly at death. He has a knack for targeting the particular bowler and straining him till the last drop of runs. Having played a substantial amount of cricket in Guyana, he will be the batter to watch out for.

Probable Best Bowler: Andre Russell

It is imperative to call Russell a first-hand bowler after his exploits in IPL 2024 for Kolkata Knight Riders. The all-rounder picked 19 wickets purely on his variations and slower ones. At times, he hits the deck hard and extracts that surprising bounce baffling the batter. West Indies decks are tailor-made for a bowler like him and he can make a difference.
