Japan are favorites to win
Philippines will take on Japan in the 8th match of the East Asia Pacific T20 World Cup Qualifiers. The match will be played at Amini Park, Port Moresby and will start at 9:00 AM IST.
The pitch will be good for batting, very flat and with no help for bowlers. Pacers and spinners will need to bowl dot balls and build pressure to get the batter play the wrong shot.
