Match abandoned due to rain in Port Moresby! β
Our opening match at the PacificAus Sports Invitational was called off after heavy rain halted play with Samoa 12 for 2 in reply to Vanuatuβs 116 for 9.
Tomorrow: we take on world no.13 PNG tomorrow β 2pm local / 3pm Vanuatu
We have posted 116 for 9 from our 20 overs in our opening match of the PacificAus Sports Invitational. Valenta Langiatu top-scored with a patient 34. Despite a strong platform laid by Langiatu and Nasimana Navaika, momentum stuttered. Susan Stephen's 19 from 11 was the exception.
CORRECTION - WE ARE BATTING FIRST π
