West Indies scrape through against PNG | 01:37The T20 Cricket World Cup is underway in the West Indies and USA … turns out nobody told the fans.
Get on board Kayo and watch every game of every round of the NRL + AFL Seasons live and ad break free during play.The home nation bowled out the cricket minnows for a lacklustre 136 runs from their 20 overs. The image quickly went viral with fans questioning why the stands were empty and why the game had been scheduled to begin at 10am local time.One Reddit user wrote: “As a Guyanese, the reason for this is the ridiculous ticket prices. The green stand in the background is $75 per seat. If you notice, however, the grass mound is packed because it’s cheap. Not to undermine PNG and Uganda but allocating more exciting matches certainly would’ve resulted in better turnouts.
“Based on what we saw when PNG batted, it was always going to be hard for batsmen now coming in, so I gave myself some time to have the best chance possible and back my skills to get the ball away once I got in,” said Chase, who was awarded Man of the Match for his match-winning performance.
