Mohammed Usman began the firecrackers by scoring a quick 60 off 33 balls before resigning, yet even he was outshone by Waheed Ahmed's tricks toward the end - shooting 36 off only 11 balls including 4 sixes and 2 fours. 

PNG gave a genuinely decent record of themselves in the pursuit with Sese Bau top scoring with 40 off 30 balls, however at last the objective stayed simply distant and the home side wound up champs by 16 runs.
