Only two sides have won a match by 10 wickets… Australia (beat SL in 2007) and South Africa (beat Zim in 2012). has now joined this elite list when they beat PNG by 10 wickets at Al Amerat today.

Throwaway game for PNG. Their batting was terrible outside of one partnership. Their bowling was worse. They'll be really disappointed, but at least they are here.

Commiserations to PNG cricket. They didn't play international cricket for 670 odd days. In the last few weeks, that rustiness is showing.
