PNG Win U19 Men's Cricket World Cup Division 2 Qualifier; Inch Closer To Main Event Qualification
Cricket World Cup East Asia: Papua New Guinea (PNG) emerged victorious in the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup East Asia-Pacific Division 2 Qualifier after beating Indonesia in the final and inch closer to qualifying for the main event, to be held in Zimbabwe and Namibia in 2026.
Both PNG and Indonesia topped the standings after a competitive week of round-robin fixtures. The two took to the field at the Garden Ovals in Apia knowing a win would take them through to the East Asia-Pacific Qualifier event.
Indonesia won the toss and elected to bowl in the final matchup, but their bowlers were thwarted by a brilliant 131-run opening stand between Dauncey Tom and Frank Collin Naime. When Naime eventually fell for 48, Tom followed soon afterwards – removed for 70 off 79 balls.
