Vanuatu vs Japan
Preview
After losing 4 games in a row Vanuatu has lost its chance to qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup. They showed poor performance with both bat and ball. In the last match, they lost by 39 runs to Papua New Guinea as their batting side collapsed. Now when they have nothing to lose we can expect that they will play fearlessly and might show their best performance against Japan. Nalin Nipiko and Clement Tommy failed to perform and their weak start led to the failure of the team’s batting order. Vanuatu will love to finish the tournament in a positive style and win the last game of their table.

Preview
Japan is in good form and is targeting the top spot of the table. In the last match, they defeated the Philippines by 33 runs and jumped to the second spot in the table. They can snatch the first spot on the table from Papua New Guinea at their final game but to do that they will have to first defeat Vanuatu in the 9th game. Vanuatu is not playing well and Japan will try to take full advantage of the situation. Japan’s middle order has shown great performances in the tournament and will be a winning factor for them against Vanuatu.

Vanuatu vs Japan Toss Prediction
The team who wins the toss is likely to choose bat first because according to the stats, the first batting side won more games in the field.
Vanuatu vs Japan Pitch Report
Port Moresby’s Amini Park is a modest field with a quick outfield. For batsmen who can score runs in boundaries, it is an excellent site. On a new wicket, fast bowlers can make the ball move, but this pitch isn’t really favorable to them. Because of the narrow space of the park, spinners must bowl in close lines.
