That’s it then from this game then! We have our two finalists, they are Zimbabwe and Netherlands. The two will face each other on the 17th of this month. Till then, goodbye and take care.
Tony Ura is the Man of the Match.
The Zimbabwe bowling was quite decent except to Ura. They really stuck to their plans and the bowlers were chopped and changed quite well. Overall though, it was a complete show from the home side. First a combined effort helped them put up a big total on the board and then their bowling came to the fore to storm into the finals.
Credit though goes to Ura who played a blinder. PNG seemed down and out when they were 34 for 3. Ura and Amini then revived their hopes. Amini fell but Ura continued to make PNG believe. Once he fell though, it was all over as it was too much to ask for from the lower order
It is Zimbabwe who have entered the finals and also confirmed their place in the upcoming T20I World Cup! Credit though to PNG, they batted with the right approach and for sometime were in the chase too.
