Vanuatu are favorites to win
The Philippines will take on Vanuatu in the 5th match of the East Asia Pacific T20 World Cup Qualifiers. The match will be played at Amini Park, Port Moresby and will start at 5:00 AM IST.
The pitch will be good for batting and run-scoring is fairly easy. However, batters need to play the right shot to the right balls to score. A score of 150-160 is achievable here.

Philippines have played two matches and are yet to register a win. The team has been let down by the batters. They could only manage 113-5 against Japan and then were bowled out for 45 in a chase of 163 against PNG.
There is not a lot to talk about Philippines batters but Daniel Smith, Jordan Alegra and Josef Doctora look their best batter. Alegra and Doctora scored 33 and 28 in the first game while Smith is their all-time leading run scorer.
Daniel Smith, Keller Lukies and Miggy Pudosky can be backed as the best Philippines bowlers. The players had a decent outing in the last game against PNG and picked 2 wickets each.

Vanuatu are not too different from the Philippines as they too are looking for their first win of the Qualifiers after losing their first two games. The team has also struggled because of the batters who have looked out of touch. The team scored 71 in the first game against PNG and scored 110-8 against Japan.
Nalin Nipiko is the team’s best batter and will be keen to perform well in the next game. Andrew Mansale showed good form in the last game and made 29 runs. Junior Katlapau is one of the team’s leading run scorers and needs to come good for the team soon.
Patrick Matautaava and Joshua Rasu are the team's best bowlers and had a great game against Japan, picking 2 and 3 wickets respectively. Nilin Nipiko also bowled brilliantly and bagged 4 wickets.
Vanuatu has been poor in the tournament, losing both games comprehensively.

Batting from both teams has been poor and there is hardly anything that differentiates the teams. The head-to-head record is also even, with both teams winning one game apiece. However, we feel that Vanuatu has a better team on paper and more game changers in the team, so we are backing Vanuatu to win.
