It was not easy for the team of Papua New Guinea to reach here. The country is currently going through the worst phase of Covid-19, in which some players have even lost their family members. After being away from international cricket for almost 2 years, the challenge in front of the team now is to gain momentum. However, the support staff had united day and night to take the team here. Before the tournament, the team had to face defeat in 12 consecutive matches.
However, while writing the piece, Oman is at 88/0 in 10 overs, chasing a target of 130 set by PNG. Oman has been on a roll coming into this tournament defeating teams bigger than them in status. Aqib Aliyas & Jatinder Singh are at the crease at 42*(35) and 42*(26) respectively and Oman are on their way to register an easy win.
