PNG vs UGA, AUS vs OMA: T20 World Cup 2024 team news
PNG news
PNG gave hosts West Indies a scare in their opening game. Batting first, they made 136-8 and pushed West Indies till the 19th over while defending the score. The experienced Sese Bau scored a half-century and would look to carry the PNG batting once again while skipper Assad Vala will have an important role to play with both bat and ball.
Uganda news
Uganda suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Afghanistan in their opening fixture. They would need to regroup and bounce back quickly. Brian Masaba, their captain, was the pick of the bowlers in their last game and would need to similarly inspire his team if they are to stay alive in the tournament.
Australia news
Australia played both their warm-up games with only nine players as the others took their time to join the squad. In what will be their first game of the tournament, they’ll have several decisions to make with respect to the make-up of their team, including but not limited to deciding between picking two specialist spinners and one, and deciding on who the first-choice wicketkeeper is going to be between Matthew Wade and Josh Inglis.
Oman news
Oman lost their first game of the ICC T20 World Cup in the super over against Namibia. Their middl order of Zeeshan Maqsood, Khalid Kalil, and Ayaan Khan did the bulk of the scoring and would have a lot of responsibility once again. Captain Aqib Ilyas will be the key player, batting at No.3 and bowling his tidy leg spin.
