West Indies will take on Uganda in the 18th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. West Indies defeated Papua New Guinea in their first game and will now be eyeing a big win against Uganda. On the other hand, Uganda lost their opening game to Afghanistan but won their next match to Papua New Guinea by 3 wickets. They will be eager to put up a solid performance against the T20 giants.
The surface is not easy for the batting but the runs could be scored here. The batters will have to be patient and technically sound to get their runs on this surface. The wicket is holding up, making it difficult for the batters to play their free-flowing strokes. The pacers will get some help with the new ball and the spinners will also be effective with the old ball. In 4 matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 here, the average score batting first is 138.75. Meanwhile, 2 matches have been won by the team batting first and 2 matches have been won by the team chasing.
It is more of a bowling pitch but there will be some runs available for the batters as well.
Both fast bowlers and spinners will get assistance off the surface. The fast bowlers will have slightly more edge than spinners.
