PNG won both the games they played very comprehensively. Both wins were convincing wins where they restricted Vanuatu to 71-8 in the first match before bowling out the Philippines for 45 in the second. Japan will be their toughest match in the group.
Tony Ura, Asas Vala and Lega Siaka will be our picks for top PNG batters. Tony Ura scored 36 against the Philippines. He is the team’s leading run scorer overall. Asad Vala is their most consistent batter while Lega Siaka has also delivered well for the side. He scored 43 in the last game.
Norman Vanua and Charles Amini are two best PNG bowlers. Amini took 2 wickets in the last game while Norman bagged 2 in the first game. Kabua Morea took 5 wickets in the previous game, so he is also a good pick.
PNG have been brilliant so far, winning both their first matches comprehensively.

Japan have been brilliant too, winning both games easily. They defeated the Philippines by 53 runs before picking a 21-run win over Vanuatu.
Kendel Fleming, the captain, has looked good in both games. He scored 65 against Vanuatu and 60 against the Philippines. Lalchan Lake scored 41 against the Philippines and can be backed too. Ibrahim Takashaki has also played impactful knocks in both matches.
Piyush Kumbhare has taken 4 wickets in 2 games while Reo Thomas and S Ravichandran have bowled well too. Thomas has taken a wicket each in both games and even though Ravichandran is still wicketless, he has bowled well at an economy of less than 6.
Japan have won both games in the tournament without breaking a sweat.
Lachlan Lake, Alexander Patmore (wk), Supun Navaratne, Kendel Fleming (c), Ibrahim Takahashi, Sabaorish Ravichandran, Reo Sakurano Thomas, Declan Suzuki, Makoto Taniyama, Piyush Kumbhare, Ryan Drake
PNG will start the match as favourites as they are the more established team. They have a good set of batters and bowlers and have plenty of experience in this format of the game. Japan have started playing T20Is since 2022 so they will need some time to get into the groove. PNG are favourites or us.
