Who will win Papua New Guinea vs United States, Womens T20 WC Qualifier?
Papua New Guinea could book their semi-final place when they take on the United States at Lochlands, Arbroath, on September 3 in their final Group A fixture. The match is scheduled to start at 14:00.
A big win could be enough for Papua New Guinea to reach the last four, after they beat Scotland by six wickets in their first game before falling just short in a rain-affected game against Bangladesh last time out. They are currently level on points with Scotland, but behind the hosts on net run rate, so margin of victory could be crucial depending on the result in Group A’s other match.
USA, meanwhile, have lost both games so far. They scored just 30/5 in a reduced seven-over game against Scotland before being bowled out for 46 in 19.5 overs as the gulf in quality between them and the other teams in this tournament has showed.
