PNG vs Uganda Match Preview
Both debutants who kicked off their WT20 journey with a defeat will encounter each other in the 9th game of Group C in the T20 World Cup 2024. Papua New Guinea and Uganda got their first taste of top-level international cricket in their opening matches against West Indies and Afghanistan, respectively.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) were impressive, setting hosts West Indies in a tight spot. Assad Vala and his bowlers and fielders put up a brave fight but eventually fell to the former two-time T20 World Cup winners.
Uganda (UGA) had a debut not to remember again, being one-handedly pummeled by a far superior Afghanistan side. Brian Masaba will aim that his batsmen can put up a stellar show versus PNG after their surrender to bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi.

T20 World Cup 2024 Match 9 Pitch Report
The surface at the Providence Stadium in Guyana is expected to be sluggish, making it difficult for batters to add runs.
Although there will be minimal lateral motion with the new ball, the track’s two-paced nature is likely to tilt the conditions barely in favour of the bowlers.
Furthermore, the ball might hold up a bit, as a result, making it hard for batters to timely play their shots. Spin bowlers will also be crucial, as the deck has to offer notable turns throughout the day.
Considering it’s an evening game and a cloud burst at Guyana might come into play, the toss-winning team is expected to opt to bowl first.
