2018 ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup

The current under 19 world cup has served the PNG Garamuts some of their biggest lessons yet, as their latest match was a baptism of fire from India.

India qualified for the next stage of the ICC U-19 World Cup with a comprehensive 10 wicket win at the Bay Oval against Papua New Guinea.

The final round of group B in the ICC Under 19 cricket world cup will see a top of the table clash where India play Zimbabwe while last placed Hebou PNG Garamuts take on neighbours, Australia, today (19th January).

The Fijians batted first and after 19.2 overs were reeling at 5-42. Wickets continued to fall and they found themselves all out for 88 inside 36 overs.

Jack Fraser Charters (16) and Samuel Nakuna (16) top scored with the bat. With the ball for Garamuts, it was Boge Daniel Arua (4/21) who did the damage.

Despite their losing their openers cheaply, Heagi Ronald Toua (27), Vagi Karaho (15) and Nou Reva Rarua (14*) guided the Garamuts home to reach the target in 25.2 overs losing six wickets along the way.

PNG will take on hosts Samoa tomorrow.
