ICC T20 World Cup 2024 today’s match: West Indies vs Papua New Guinea
It is expected to be a stroll in the park for the West Indies against the minnows PNG given the former champions have the likes of Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell in their squad.
Why is the T20 World Cup 2024 important for West Indies cricket?
More than eight years after Carlos Brathwaite’s four sixes at Eden Gardens gave them their second T20 world title, a wounded West Indies will look to redeem themselves at home.
Brathwaite had slammed Ben Stokes for four successive sixes in the final over to pull off one of the most astonishing chases that made the West Indies the first team to win the T20 World Cup twice. Their maiden triumph was in 2012.
Worse was in store in the 2022 edition in Australia when they failed to qualify for the main round after shock defeats to minnows Scotland and Ireland.
It’s been 2982 days since the memorable night at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, something they would be desperate to reclaim especially when the tournament is at home.
