West Indies will face PNG in the second game of the T20 World Cup. The game will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana and will begin at 8:00 PM IST on June 2. West Indies will be among the favourites to win the T20 World Cup in 2024. The hosts have been on fire in the buildup to the tournament, coming off a brilliant series victory over South Africa. It will take a massive effort from PNG to beat the West Indies; however, upsets in T20Is are not uncommon. Even if they play their best cricket, PNG lacks the quality to put this West Indies team to the test.

West Indies are the clear favourites to win. There is a significant difference in quality between the two teams, and any upset appears unlikely. West Indies are a formidable force and one of the favourites to win the title. PNG appears to be in serious trouble, and if the West Indies bat first, they could score 250 or more runs. Back the West Indies for a big win. Considering the team combination, West Indies are expected to win this match.
