Betting Tips
The West Indies to win the toss
1.90
Bet on the home team to win the toss. There is a 50 percent chance of this happening. If the Windies win the toss, they will probably choose to bat first.
Andre Russell to be top batter in the match
3.50
Russell was one of KKR's top performers during their title-winning IPL campaign in May 2024. As a world-class all-rounder, he offers value with the bat and ball. His success with the bat could be heightened against PNG, especially if he gets to the crease earlier than usual.
Obed McCoy to be top bowler in the match
3.90
McCoy was a late addition to the squad and will likely be in the matchday XI, too. He has taken five wickets in his last three T20Is and is in good form.
Assad Vala to be top Papua New Guinea batter
3.40
This will be Vala's 60th T20I. He is highly experienced by PNG's standards. Vala's role as captain empowers his ambition with the bat.
Kabua Morea to be top Papua New Guinea bowler
3.90
Morea has already taken one five-wicket haul and two four-fors in T20I cricket. He was impressive against Oman recently. Anticipate another big spell from the PNG left-armer.
The West Indies and Papua New Guinea will play the second match of the 2024 T20 World Cup. This will be a key group C clash between the two-time tournament winners and relative newcomers. Let's see how they could fare against each other.

WI vs PNG Team Previews
West Indies
The West Indies currently occupy sixth position in the International Cricket Council's rankings for men's T20I teams. They are 14 positions higher than 20th-placed Papua New Guinea. We could be in for a complete mismatch, but you never know in major ICC tournaments.
The Windies will go into this match on the back of a three-nil T20I series win over South Africa. They did that without a few stars who were involved in the Indian Premier League at the time. Andre Russell, Rovman Powell and others are back for this tournament opener. Russell recently won the IPL title with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
The tournament co-hosts lost Jason Holder to injury recently. He is a world-class all-rounder and his absence is a blow to the team's ambition with the bat and ball. Obed McCoy has replaced Holder in the squad. Shimron Hetmeyer is an interesting prospect. He has proven himself among the best finishers in T20 cricket across the globe.
West Indies Expected Playing 11
- Nicholas Pooran
- Johnson Charles
- Rovman Powell
- Brandon King
- Sherfane Rutherford
- Andre Russell
- Roston Chase
- Romario Shepherd
- Alzarri Joseph
- Akeal Hosein
- Gudakesh Motie
Papua New Guinea
This is not PNG's first time at a T20 World Cup. They were in the tournament in 2021, but lost all three of their matches. This time, they can take the lessons from them and deploy improvement three years down the line. Regardless, they're probably in for an uphill battle, starting with this fixture against the Windies.
Wisely, they've employed Phil Simmons as a specialist coach. Simmons can take all his experience from playing for and coaching the Windies into the PNG set-up. Meanwhile, Assad Vala is still captain. He was their leader in the 2021 T20 World Cup, too. This continuity should help Papua New Guinea's 2024 campaign.
Bowling-wise, Kabua Morea and Alei Nao will be motivated after claiming two wickets each in a recent warm-up match against Oman. PNG lost the fixture, but the experience and understanding of conditions should help their progress. Morea could feature as one of the best left-arm seamers, among the mnnow nations, at the tournament.
Papua New Guinea Expected Playing 11
- Kiplin Doriga
- Lega Siaka
- Hiri Hiri
- Tony Ura
- Assad Vala
- Charles Amini
- Sese Bau
- John Kariko
- Alei Nao
- Kabua Morea
- Chad Soper
WI vs PNG Toss Prediction
This match will be played at Providence Stadium in Guyana. The last three tosses in T20I cricket at this venue have brought decisions to bat first.
It's probable the team to win the toss this time will take their cue from that record and choose to bat first as well.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch should be relatively fresh - and a first-innings total of 170-plus could be competitive. The last three first-innings scores in T20I competition at this ground have been 163, 159 and 152.
Both teams will probably select two specialist spinners in conditions expected to take turn, especially in the second innings. Rain is forecast in Guyana on matchday. We might be in for a limited fixture.
WI vs PNG Betting Tips
The West Indies have far more going for them than PNG, including homeground advantage, a string of IPL stars and two T20 World Cup titles.
The Windies' batting, bowling and fielding should be entirely superior to PNG's.
Bet on 1.06 favourites West Indies to beat 9.00 underdogs Papua New Guinea.
