T20 World Cup 2024: NZ vs PNG
Date and time: July 17; 10:30 am Local/ 2:30 pm GMT/ 08:00 pm IST
Venue: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad
Brian Lara Stadium Stadium Pitch Report:
The Brian Lara Stadium pitch favors slower bowlers, with batters having a better chance to time their shots early in the game. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to become more difficult. In the later stages, spinners are expected to find more assistance, particularly in the second innings.
Captain winning the toss might opt to bat first to set a formidable target.
