T20 World Cup: Papua New Guinea Support Staff Gets Emotional During The National Anthem
In the first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, Oman and Papua New Guinea are facing off against each other. In the group B match of the first round, Oman captain Zeeshan Maqsood won the toss and elected to bowl first against Papua New Guinea in the 1st match of the T20 World Cup 2021. This match is being played at Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Al Amerat.
When the national anthems were being played of both the nations, PNG support staff got visibly emotional and had tears in their eyes. This is due to the fact that PNG's journey to play in their first ICC tournament has been tough & inspiring. Papua New Guinea (PNG) became the first team to qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup qualifiers in 2019 after missing out on qualifying for the T20 World 2 very closely.
