Papua New Guinea on Sunday (October 27) created history by securing their maiden appearance at the T20 World Cup in Australia next year.
PNG were 19/6 against Kenya after an early collapse in a Group A encounter of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 in Dubai, but ended up winning the contest by 45 runs.
Despite their 5th victory in 6 matches, PNG had to wait for the result of the Netherlands' game against Scotland before it could celebrate its automatic qualification for the T20 World Cup 2020.
The Dutch beat Scotland by four wickets but failed to overhaul the 131-run target in 12.3 overs, which meant that PNG topped the group with a higher net run rate.
After this historic outcome, international cricket fraternity took to Twitter and congratulated the Papua New Guinea team.
