Cricket: Papua New Guinea Clinch Qualification For 2024 Men's T20 World Cup
Papua New Guinea (PNG) have clinched their berth in the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup, to be held in West Indies and the USA, after beating the Philippines by 100 runs, which guarantees a first-place finish for them in the ongoing East Asia-Pacific Qualifier. PNG, led by Assad Vala, played in the first round of the 2021 Men’s T20 World Cup in Muscat, Oman. Now, in the ongoing competition, the hosts maintained a clean slate with wins in each of the five games played so far -- twice against Vanuatu and the Philippines and once against Japan.
With their latest win against the Philippines, the PNG now have 10 points from five wins, meaning their place in the 2024 T20 World Cup is confirmed with one game to go, against Japan, on Saturday.
