Papua New Guinea National Cricket Team vs Uganda National Cricket Team match scorecard: Papua New Guinea will square off against Uganda in a battle of associate nations at ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The match between the Papua New Guinea national cricket team and the Uganda national cricket team will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana and it starts at 5:00 am IST (Indian Standard Time). Both these teams suffered defeats in their first matches at the T20 World Cup 2024. But Papua New Guinea would have a slight edge over their opposition, given the way they performed against co-hosts West Indies in their first match. Assad Vala and his team managed to scrape through to a total of some substance and were pretty impressive with the ball in hand against the batting might of the West Indies. The two-time champions were able to get past the finish line in the end but PNG would take a lot from that effort, heading into this clash.

In stark contrast, Uganda put up a tame show against Afghanistan in their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 opener. The 'Cricket Cranes' proved to be no competition whatsoever to Rashid Khan and co, who bowled them out for a meagre 58 while defending 184. Captain Brian Masaba and Cosmas Kyewuta were superb with the ball, taking two wickets each, but it was their batting that let them down in the last match. Uganda will look to put forward a much-improved show with the willow this time around. Although PNG can be tipped to win, any team cannot be taken lightly at all in a format as dynamic as T20 cricket.
