The 9th match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will be played between Papua New Guinea and Uganda. The match between the two associate nations will take place at the Providence Stadium, Guyana at 5 AM Indian Standard Time.
PNG earned their spot in the tournament by emerging victorious in the East Asia Pacific qualifiers. Conversely, Uganda secured their place by defeating Zimbabwe in a memorable match during the African qualifiers.
PNG began the tournament with a loss at the hands of the West Indies. However, they put up a good fight before losing the match. Uganda, on the other hand, lost their opening match to Afghanistan.
This edition marks Uganda’s debut in the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea is participating in their second consecutive edition, having made their debut in 2021. However, their previous appearance ended without a win in the first stage. There are minimal expectations from both PNG and Uganda, and the two teams will be looking to grab as much exposure as possible from this big event.
The two teams have played only a solitary T20 international in the past which was won by PNG. Ahead of match 9 of the T20 World Cup 2024, here is all you need to know.

World Cup T20 PNG vs UGA Match Prediction
Expectations are not high from both the teams in the world cup. But if we were to choose a winner, we would go with Papua New Guinea who put up a good fight in their loss in their opening match. They also won the only T20I they have played against Uganda.
