WI vs PNG T20 Prediction Match Statistics
West Indies Team Preview
West Indies qualified for the Tournament by co-hosting the T20 World Cup 2024 with the USA, who won the opening match against Canada.
The team is known for their strong batting lineup with aggressive players such as Rovman Powell, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer or Nicholas Pooran. They also have experienced all-rounders in the lineup who can contribute in both bat and ball with Andree Russell, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the recent IPL season and won the title with them.
But they have some weaknesses in the squad. The team has not been consistent in recent matches. The result shows they will be easy to beat against quality WI vs PNG T20 Prediction spin bowling.
Papua New Guinea Team Preview
Papua New Guinea is qualified for the tournament by winning the East Asia-Pacific Qualifiers, Securing their 2nd time to play in the T20 World Cup.
Although a not-too-famous team, their dedication and enthusiasm for the game are as high as the sky. Their squad focuses on the bowling lineup, with spinning and fielders. However, with just 2 times played in the T20 World Cup, PNG’s men can lack experience for the high stage. Because of focusing on the bowling lineup, PNG batters are inconsistent, which has been shown in recent matches.
