Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming will lead the Japan team in the East Asia Pacific Region T20 World Cup Qualifiers. Japan will take the cricket field after a gap of 10 months and will look to start on a positive note.

Lanchan has scored 173 runs for the team in 7 games, with a best score of 57 while Ravichandran has added 96 runs for the team. Captain Kendel Fleming will be the main man with the bat as he is the team's leading run scorer with 277 runs.
Reo Sakurano and Piyush Kumbhare will be the best pick for bowlers. Sakurano has taken 12 wickets in 6 matches while Piyush has 8 wickets to his name. S Ravichandran has also taken 6 wickets for the team.
Japan is returning to cricket after a long gap and the squad features some new faces as well. The team will look to start well and puck some good form.

The Philippines has a poor record in T20Is since their debut. The team has played 10 games, fetching wins in just 1 match.
Captain Daniel Smith and Jordan Alegre are the two best players from the Philippines. The two batters are the top run-getters for the Philippines, with 214 and 71 runs respectively. Miguel Podoski can also be backed to contribute with the bat.
Daniel Smith is the team's best bowler as well, with 9 career wickets. Surinder Singh and Liam Myott will be keen to give the team early breakthroughs as they have good skills with the ball.
The Philippines have only won one of the 10 games they have played since their debut.

Both teams are raw and have not played a lot of cricket. However, Japan look slightly better on paper and will start the match as favourites. The Philippines have not shown any promise so far, losing 9 of the 10 games so we are backing Japan to win.
