The West Indies team, with their unwavering determination, marked a brilliant start to their ICC Twenty-Twenty World Cup campaign. They overcame a challenging match against Papua New Guinea, emerging victorious by 5 wickets in a game that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. This win in Guyana on Sunday night earned them two crucial points in Group C and showcased their resilience and potential.

Despite PNG’s best bowling last, which set the target of 137 runs in 20 overs for eight wickets, this team could not permit themselves to make their first victory in the World Cup.

Amidst the thrilling power play challenge set by the West Indies, Roston Chase emerged as the game-changer. His unstoppable performance with the bat, scoring 42 runs off 27 balls, including three fours and two sixes, was a sight to behold. This magnificent knock contributed significantly to the team’s victory and added an extra layer of excitement to the game.

The day was also fortunate for the co-host USA, as they thrashed Canadians by seven wickets in their inaugural ICC World Cup match, which is also a record.
