A T20 match between Papua New Guinea and Malaysia was played today. Batting first, Malaysia scored 196 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. I thought Malaysia might win easily. But to my surprise, Papua New Guinea won the match by scoring 199 runs in just 17.5 overs. They have lost only two wickets. Assad Vala was unbeaten on 74 off 51 balls and Tony Ura was unbeaten on 86 off 34 balls. Interestingly, Tony Ura hit 10 over boundaries.
Malaysia scored 196 runs due to superb knock by Zubaidi Zulkifle, Ahmad Faiz and Syed Aziz. Win was very much on cards for Malaysia but PNG Assad Vala and Tony Ura were too good to handle Malaysia bowling. PNG achieved the target with 13 balls to spare.
