As the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup gains momentum, cricket enthusiasts brace themselves for an electrifying lineup of matches scheduled for Thursday.
Both Uganda and Papua New Guinea (PNG) are gearing up for their second encounters, while former champions Australia and Pakistan are set to embark on their opening matches in the tournament.
In a riveting showdown, Papua New Guinea will face Uganda at the prestigious Guyana National Stadium in Providence, Guyana.
PNG, having emerged victorious in their previous encounter against Uganda in this format, aims to maintain their winning streak.
However, both teams, having commenced their T20 World Cup journey with setbacks, are eager to secure their first points in this high-stakes clash.
Meanwhile, the formidable Australian squad will kick off their campaign against Oman at the iconic Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Despite Oman’s spirited performance, succumbing to Namibia in their opening match via a nail-biting Super-Over, Australia enters the fray as the overwhelming favorite.
With a plethora of talent at their disposal, Australia is poised to clinch victory effortlessly, possibly experimenting with different combinations along the way.
Across the Atlantic, co-hosts United States of America, fresh from a triumphant start against Canada in the tournament’s opening fixture, brace themselves for a formidable challenge from Pakistan at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas.
While Pakistan faces the absence of all-rounder Imad Wasim due to injury, their seasoned lineup promises a stern test for the hosts.
Despite the presence of players of Indian and Pakistan origin within the American ranks, Pakistan enters the encounter as the frontrunner.
The match timings for these exhilarating encounters are as follows:
PNG vs Uganda – 5:00 AM IST at Guyana National Stadium, Guyana
Australia vs Oman – 6:00 AM IST at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados
USA vs Pakistan – 9:00 PM IST at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Dallas, USA
Cricket enthusiasts can catch all the action live on the Star Sports Network. Additionally, for those preferring online streaming, Disney+ Hotstar offers live coverage of the match.
With anticipation reaching a crescendo, Thursday promises an enthralling spectacle as these cricketing powerhouses vie for supremacy in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
