PNG aim to spread joy amid worst COVID wave in country
Their country reeling under the worst COVID-19 surge, debutants Papua New Guinea (PNG) will be eager to spread smiles across the faces of their countrymen when they take on co-hosts Oman in the opening first round match of the T20 World Cup here on Sunday.
Following two near-misses in their qualification attempts, PNG left nothing to chance in the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier and were the first team to seal their spot.
A five-wicket win over Netherlands in the group stage proved decisive for them and though they lost the final, Assad Vala and Co were able to qualifying for their maiden ICC global tournament.
