World T20 League 2024

PNG vs. UGA, 9th Match

Preview

Papua New Guinea will square off against Uganda in the match no. 9 of the World T20 League 2024. The match is scheduled to be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday, June 6.  

PNG are on a three-match losing run including two warm-up matches against Oman and Namibia respectively. They also suffered a narrow five-wicket loss against West Indies in their first group-stage match. Assad Vala will be optimistic from their previous match and push their side to come back stronger for their forthcoming encounter.

On the other side, UGA faced a humiliating defeat by a 125-run margin against Rashid Khan’s Afghanistan. The side led by Brian Masaba failed both in their batting and bowling departments against the Afghan Pathans. Papua New Guinea and Uganda will be looking to transform this match into a potential win when they face each other in this fixture.

The Providence Stadium in Guyana is a slow track which will assist the bowlers. Scoring runs on this track is not an easy task and batters will surely face a tough time. We expect an average score of 160 runs to be scored in the first innings at this stadium.
