The day of the T20 World Cup 2024, which is being staged in the USA and the West Indies, would see four matches aired simultaneously, providing Indian fans with a packed schedule of cricket-related events. There will only be two Test-playing countries in those four matches, though.
Every game, including those between Namibia and Scotland, Papua New Guinea and Uganda, Australia and Oman, and the United States and Pakistan, will be televised live in India on Star Sports Television Network. The Disney Plus Hotstar mobile app and website will also be providing live streaming of the games.
Australia vs Oman
The Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, will open for play at 6:00 a.m. IST. Australia enters this Group B match as the clear favorite, but Oman has the ability to surprise and even win a few punches.
Australia Probable Playing 11: Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood/Ashton Agar, Adam Zampa, Josh Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Marcus Stoinis/Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis (w), and Mitchell Starc.

Papua New Guinea vs Uganda
Match number nine of the tournament would be this Group C match. In terms of resources and experience, two of the weakest teams will play against one another. Although it may be tough to choose a favorite, PNG may have a 60/40 chance of winning because this is their second World Cup.
