Japan Form Guide:

Japan have a great squad that can challenge the opposition at ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier.

Players to look out for:

2. Kohei Kubota- He is a strike bowler for Japan who can provide breakthroughs for his team in the middle overs.

Out of the previous 5 encounters, Philippines have lost all of them.

Players to look out for:

1. Daniel Smith- Skipper Smith has shown great character in the last few matches for Philippines. He leads from the front and usually takes his team to great positions.

2. Huzaifa Mohammed- He is an experienced campaigner who will play an important role for Philippines in the upcoming matches with the ball in hand.

July 22: Match 2- PNG vs Vanuatu (Amini Park, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea)

PNG Form Guide:

PNG have been playing ODI cricket for quite some time. The last they participated in a T20I competition was in July 2022 at the ICC World T20 Qualifier tournament. They had won the matches against USA and Uganda while losing the rest of the games.

Players to look out for:

1. Assad Vala- He is one of the most experienced batters for PNG, who can take the game away from the opposition with his aggressive batting style. He will play a key role for PNG in the upcoming matches with the bat.

2. Charles Amini- He is a leg break bowler who carries a good record in T20 cricket. He is not only a handy bowler but also a brilliant batter.

Vanuatu Form Guide:

Vanuatu are relatively new to the world of cricket. However, they have surprised the cricket fraternity by winning 3 matches out of the previous 5 games that have participated in.

Players to look out for:

1. Nalin Nipiko- He is a top order batter who can smash the ball a long way. Nipiko's knock of 100 in 49 balls against Fiji recently was a top notch performance. He is certainly a player to look out for in Vanuatu.

2. Joshua Rasu- He is a very intelligent bowler who picks up regular wickets in the middle overs without conceding too many runs.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

Vanuatu - Clement Tommy, Joshua Rasu, Junior Kaltapau, Ronald Tari, Womejo Wotu, Andrew Mansale, Nalin Nipiko, Patrick Matautaava (c), Jamal Vira (Wk), Jarryd Allan (Wk), Apolinaire Stephen, Darren Wotu, Obed Yosef, Simpson Obed, Williamsing Nalisa
