Heavy rain on Sunday interrupted the much-anticipated opening match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 between West Indies and Papua New Guinea, leaving the game in the balance.
Papua New Guinea, batting first, put up a competitive total of 136 runs in their allotted eight overs before the heavens opened up. Tony Ura’s blistering 37 runs off 15 balls was the highlight of their innings.
