Hosts West Indies will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Papua New Guinea (PNG) in the tournament’s second match. This thrilling contest is set to take place at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday.
Rovman Powell will continue to captain the Windies, while Assadollah Vala will lead the PNG team.
The pitch at the Province stadium is renowned for its balanced nature, providing an equitable contest between bat and ball. Fast bowlers initially benefit from atmospheric conditions that favour swing and seam movement, while spinners become more effective as the match advances.
Overall, this venue is regarded as more favourable for bowlers, particularly when the pitch slows down, allowing spinners to take advantage of the wearing surface.
