Incredible from the Niueans! Duken Talaiti and Faleuka Tagelagi suck the runs dry as Roger Khan and Vishvadeep Singh fail to middle anything to the boundary. It may just be game over for Canada, who now need 79 runs from 24 balls. Even on their best days, it's quite unlikely Roger Khan and Vishvadeep Singh would've managed it.

Niue are World Cup Finalists after an outstanding performance against the best team in the world! Dalton Nemani and a clinical bowling display led the Niueans to a fantastic victory against a Canadian side that looked overwhelmed and overpowered. Their World Cup dreams come crashing down with a 46-run defeat in Wellington.

Code:
NIUE                 244/5     38.0 overs
CANADA               198/8     38.0 overs

Niue won by 46 runs

Man of the match: Dalton Nemani (Niue)

 
Yup this was expected, total was too much to chase in 38 overs. And thus ends 2023 the year of Martin Terry and Canada. Still extremely proud of all the accomplishments we made this year including being the number 1 team in test and odi.

This has definitely been the year of Canada.

Huge thanks to @Na Maloom Afraad for everything.

Even though this match was rigged......... Just kidding :LOL2:
