Japan got off to a great start to their East Asia Pacific T20 World Cup qualifiers as they thrashed the Philippines by 53 runs. The team batted well and posted a big score of 166/7 before restricting the Philippines to 113/5.
L Yamamoto Lake and Kadowaki Fleming proved their credentials as top Japan batters and scored 41 and 60 in the first match. Ibrahim Takahashi is also a good pick and looked in great touch in the first game, scoring 31 in 13 balls.
Piyush Kumbhare picked 2 wickets in the first game and lived up to the expectations of a very good bowler. S Ravichandran also had a good game and gave just 13 runs in 4 overs. Even though he failed to pick a wicket, his good economy rate helped the team build pressure. Wickets are also bound to come for him. Sakurano Thomas is another key bowler for the team and will be looking to do well in the coming game.
Japan has got off to a great start to the tournament with an all-round show and the team will be looking to continue the momentum in the games to come.

Vanuatu suffered a crushing defeat to PNG in their first match of the tournament. Vanuatu batted first and could only score 78-8 in 20 overs and PNG cruised to the target in 6.1 overs with 9 wickets to spare.
Nalin Nipiko, Pat Matautaava and Junior Kaltapau will be the best picks for top batters. The players failed in the first game but are the best bet to come good. Nipiko has over 600 runs in T20Is with a century to his name. Matauvaava and Kaltapau are also two of the top run scorers for Vanuatu, with nearly 300 runs.
Simpson Obed, Nalin Nipiko and Joshua Rasu will have to do well with the ball for Vanuatu as they are the team’s best bowlers.
Vanuatu has not been in great form in recent times and their start to the T20 World Cup Qualifiers has not been good as well. The team needs to punch above their weight in the tournament to get favourable results.
Nalin Nipiko, Junior Kaltapau, Jarryd Allan (wk), Andrew Mansale, Patrick Matautaava (c), Ronald Tari, Apolinaire Stephen, Joshua Rasu, Simpson Obed, Williamsing Nalisa, Obed Yosef
Japan will start the match as big favourites. Japan is an established team while Vanuatu are still finding their feet in world cricket. The team will take a while before performing well against big teams. Japan will start as favourites as they have a far better team than Vanuatu.
