Afghanistan are set to face Papua New Guinea (PNG) in the 29th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The game will be held at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad.
Afghanistan are on the brink of qualifying for the Super 8 from Group C, where West Indies have already advanced. A win in the upcoming match will secure Afghanistan’s spot in the Super 8 stage. In contrast, PNG are on the verge of elimination, having lost both of their initial games.
The pitch at Brian Lara Stadium typically supports slower bowling. Early in the match, batters can time their shots with relative ease, but the conditions become more challenging as the game goes on. In the later stages, the surface tends to favor spinners, especially during the second innings. Captains winning the toss might choose to bat first to set a competitive target. As a result, spectators can look forward to an exciting and potentially high-scoring game at this venue.
