Fiji achieved its first win in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub-Regional A Pacific tournament in Samoa on Tuesday, marking a significant improvement after two prior losses. The national cricket team executed an impressive comeback, securing a commanding 104-run victory over the previously unbeaten Cook Islands.

This win has not only lifted Fiji’s spirits but also heightened the competition as the battle for the top position heats up. Apete Sokovagone was the standout player, scoring 62 runs off 37 balls and earning the Man of the Match award. Captain Peni Vuniwaqa contributed with 30 runs off 15 balls, helping Fiji establish a formidable total.

Seventeen-year-old Joeli Moala showcased his talent with an exceptional bowling performance, claiming two wickets for just nine runs. Following their early setbacks against Samoa and Vanuatu, Fiji’s recent triumph has reignited their aspirations for success in the tournament.

In their first two matches, Fiji suffered defeats, losing to host Samoa by nine wickets and falling short against Vanuatu by 36 runs.
