It can be tricky though as the pitch is very slow. It will become slower and slower. If PNG can score 130+, they can present a challenge.

I don't think so. Yes pitch is slow but that is how most of the Caribbean pitches are. And if WI play like they play, this 130(ish) target will look like a kid's play to them. They'll finish this game as quickly as possible as I don't see any demons in this pitch.

If they want to send a message to the rest of the teams, this is the game. 137 at home ground against PNG's bowling attack will be no threat.

How many overs do you think they'll need to chase this down? I say 16-17.

WI superpower is the heavy hitters though. And they have a good Captain half-way down the batting order.

Yes you're right. But WI aren't a team that they used to be. There's no other team in Cricket that has seen such a constant decline in their reputation.
However, T20 is very different from other formats. The shorter the format, the more unpredictable it gets and the more fun it becomes for spectators!

We will see…. I think they have enough residual talent.
