Japan will take on the Philippines in the 1st game of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier 2023. It will be an important game for both teams before they take on the stronger sides in the tournament. They are young teams, and neither would like to lose this game.
The Philippines have had a poor track record since their debut. The side has played ten games and managed to win only once. They come here with seven consecutive losses and need to break this streak. Japan also had several failures last year, and it will be interesting to see which teams emerge as winners.

Weather Conditions
The weather is expected to be hot and humid, and we shall see a flat surface during the game, and batters can play their strokes freely. The side that bats first in this game shall need 170 runs on the board to feel confident.
Venue Details
Amini Park, Port Moresby, is known for being a batting-friendly surface. The wicket is flat, and the outfield is very fast here. There is little on this track for the fast bowlers, who have struggled here. Spinners tend to do well as they can turn the ball sharply on this surface.
Toss: To Bowl
It can be slightly challenging for batsmen to move their scoreboard in the first few overs. It is a difficult surface to set up a score, and run chases have been easy; hence the side winning the toss would like to bowl first on this wicket.
The Philippines comes into the tournament with seven consecutive losses. The side will be down on confidence, and they have roped in several uncapped players for this tournament, which will be challenging for them. Japan has balance in both departments, and it will give them a slight edge.
