Preview

Papua New Guinea will take on Japan in the 12th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier. This match will be played at Amini Park in Port Moresby. Papua New Guinea have already qualified for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 which will be held in West Indies and America after winning all their 5 matches so far in this tournament. They will be looking to finish the campaign with another win. 

On the other hand, Japan have three wins and two losses in five matches. They lost their previous match against Vanuatu by 5 wickets which also ended their hopes of qualification. They will be playing for pride and look to test out a few new players in this match. This promises to be a closely fought game between these two sides and we can expect a cracker.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Makoto Taniyama

JAPAN | BAT

Makoto Taniyama has failed to make much of an impact with both bat and ball so far this season and with plenty of better options he can be left out.

7.5

Wataru Miyauchi

JAPAN | WK

Wataru Miyauchi has been batting lower down the order and might not face much balls to have an impact. Hence avoid him for this match.
