Papua New Guinea Women's team has performed well and won every match they have played in the past, so they have a chance to win today's match against Scotland Women's team. But today's match is more likely to win Scotland women's team, in that case I think today's match will be in their favor and win. However, Papua New Guinea's batting performance is good, so Scotland women's team will have to bat well in today's match and if they can bowl well in both areas, the victory will be assured for Scotland women's team.
Papua New Guinea Women had chances to win yesterday but ended up being bowled out for 101 and lost by 16 runs. Scotland Women batted first and collected 117 runs in the allotted overs. The target of 118 runs was not a big target in T20 format, it was very easy to score 118 runs in 120 balls. But Papua New Guinea women's batting line was very poor. Apart from Brenda Tau, no other batsman batted well, she was dismissed for 39 runs off 33 balls. Besides, not all batsmen could score 13 plus runs. I was disappointed with Kevau Frank's performance as he got out for 2 runs off 18 balls. Papua New Guinea women could have won if they had been patient and batted well at the end. Congratulations to the Scotland Women's team.Yes, I absolutely agree that they had a genuine chance to win. The target was pretty moderate, they definitely should have performed better.
By the way, Papua New Guinea had given away nine extra in this match. If they didn’t do that, probably the target could have been a lot less and they could have had a better chance. But also on the other hand the Scotland women’s team has given 16 extras. That is really a lot. Without that, the Papua New Guinea women’s team couldn’t have got even close to the target. Well, they didn’t get close anyway as it was a low-scoring match. But overall the Papua New Guinea team should have performed much better. They just got backed by the Scotland women’s bowlers. And by the way, they should also work on their running between the wickets.
