| 1.1 : 1.1: E Bundi to T Ura, OUT! Caught! Now, that is a surprise. The opening stand is broken cheaply. Full and outside off, Ura looks to go over mid off but cannot quite get the elevation. The ball hits the toe end of the bat and goes towards mid off where Shem Ngoche leaps and takes the catch well. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: E Bundi to L Siaka, FOUR! FLAMBOYANT! That is a nice way to get off the mark. Half volley wide outside off, Siaka leans and drives it through rthe covers! |
| 1.4 : 1.4: E Bundi to A Vala, OUT! LBW! Bundi gets another! A length ball, around middle, Vala looks to defend but the ball nips back in, beats the bat, hits the pad and goes behind. The bowler appeals and up goes the finger! |
| 1.5 : 1.5: E Bundi to C Amini, OUT! Caught behind! Third wicket in the over! Full and outside off, angling away, Amini looks to drive but gets an outside edge to the keeper! |
| 2.1 : 2.1: L Oluoch to L Siaka, OUT! Edged and taken! Fourth wicket down in the span of 7 balls! A length ball outside off, Siaka looks to defend but the ball shapes away, takes the outside edge and flies behind. Colins Obuya dives to his right at first slip and takes a blinder! |
| 2.5 : 2.5: L Oluoch to R Hekure, OUT! Edged and caught again! Gosh. Half the side is back in the hut inside half the Powerplay. Kenya are on a roll. Oluoch lands this around off and forces Hekure to defend. But then, the ball slants away slightly and takes the outside edge. Keeper Irfan Karim does the rest. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: E Bundi to K Doriga, OUT! Caught behind! Another one falls. This is a free fall. Full and outside off, Doriga looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge to the keeper. He stays there but Kenya appeal and up goes the finger! |
| 6.6: L Oluoch to S Bau, FOUR! Nicely timed, but a terrific effort as well, only to let it loose in the end. Full and around off, Bau drives this straight down the ground, through mid on. Shem Ngoche gives it a good chase from mid off and pulls the ball back in, but unfortunately for him, the ball lands beyond the boundary! 4-0-15-2 for Lucas Oluoch. |

| 15.3 : 15.3: S Bhudia to N Vanua, FOUR! MAIDEN T20I FIFTY FOR VANUA! What a knock it has been. Came in when his side was in doldrums and has taken them to a respectable total. Who knows, could get match-winning as well, if he stays till the end. Short and outside off, Vanua rocks back and cuts it through point. The ball races away! |
| 16.3: C Obuya to S Bau, OUT! CAUGHT! Short delivery on middle, Bau pulls it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards Jasraj Kundi who takes a comfortable catch. Papua New Guinea lose their 7th wicket. |

| 3.4 : 3.4: N Pokana to I Karim, FOUR! Nice shot. On a length on middle, Karim lofts it over wide mid on for a boundary. That is the first boundary of the run chase. |

End of the Powerplay, 40/2 for PNG. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: A Vala to R Patel, OUT! LBW! Dead plumb. Nothing much to think for the umpire. Full and around middle, Rakep looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. The bowler appeals and the umpire raises his finger! |
| 9.1 : 9.1: A Vala to C Obuya, OUT! Caught! Obuya falls as well. Full and outside off, Colins looks to slog but only skies this high in the air. Long on gets across and Sese Bau takes a decent catch. Kenya throwing it away... |
