Vanuatu have won 1 and lost 3 matches in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier A. They are performing way below their potential in the competition.

The top run scorer for Vanuatu in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier A is Andrew Mansale with 183 runs to his name.

In their previous match against Cook Islands, Vanuatu batted first and they posted a total of 125 for 9 in 20 overs. Nalin Nipiko and Clement Tommy played really well at the top of the order and scored 38 and 27 runs respectively. After their dismissals, Vanuatu kept losing wickets in regular succession and could never stage a comeback into the match. They were eventually restricted to a low total of 125 in 20 overs of play.

During the chase, Cook Islands lost Hayden Dickson early on in the innings. After his dismissal, Maara Ave and Thomas Parima played really well and scored 44 and 35 runs respectively to almost seal the deal in favor of Cook Islands. On the back of their batting brilliance, Cook Islands were able to get to the target with 7 wickets to spare.

During the chase, Fiji openers got their team off to a stable but a very slow start. Once these two got out, the middle order simply collapsed like a pack of cards. Saumani Tai picked up 5 wickets for just 27 runs as Fiji were bowled out for a paltry 110, losing the match by 73 runs.
