Papua New Guinea are waist-deep in trouble in their 166-run chase against Scotland in the 5th match of Group B in T20 World Cup 2021. Having failed to make an impression in the campaign opener versus Oman, Tony Ura and Lega Siaka didn’t bother the scorers much, departing for 2 and 9 respectively. Skipper Assad Vala couldn’t come to his team’s rescue either, falling cheaply to Alasdair Evans. To make matters worse, Charles Amini, who scored 37 in the previous game, was run-out yet again.
Assad Vala departs!
