PNG Suffers First Loss

Zimbabwe scored 321 for 9 wickets in their 50 overs, and PNG replied with 93 all out from 35 overs.

Coach Rodney Maha lamented the number of dropped catches during the Zimbabwe innings.

“We dropped 8 catches in the match, which hurt us in the end,” said the coach.

“We created chances but we dropped catches that could have created big opportunities.

“In reply, our team struggled to chase a big total.
