The Hebou PNG Barramundis bounced back to beat Scotland by five wickets this afternoon in the 45th Match of the ICC World Cricket League Championship.
A much improved bowling attack reduced the Scots to 203 inside 49 overs. Norman Vanua (2/36), John Reva (2/35) and Mahuru Dai (2/19) did most of the work with the ball.
In their run chase, openers Vani Vagi Morea (18) and Tony Ura (25) made a strong start putting on 44 runs for the first wicket.
Captain Assad Vala continued where they left off, adding on another 49 runs. Vala’s dismissal left the Barras at 5/130, with the game in the balance.
But it was Dai (63*) and Dogodo Bau (14*) who guided the Barras home to victory with 12 balls to spare.
