The Women’s Japan National Team wrapped up a 5-0 clean sweep against Singapore in Sano.
In the final match Haruna Iwasaki was the batting star, striking her maiden international half century to help the team to a total of 118 for six from their 20 overs.
Iwasaki (50 off 42 balls) combined with captain Mai Yanagida (24 off 40) for a partnership of 42 before being joined by her Sendai teammate Akari Nishimura (16* off 15) to add 46 for the sixth wicket.
Singapore made a steady start with the bat and at 76 for three in the 12th over looked like they might record a first win of the tour.
However, Japan took six wickets for just 13 runs as Yanagida (four for eight) ran through the lower order.
The win was sealed by 29 runs and gives the team a welcome confidence boost as they depart for the Women’s East Asia Cup in Incheon, Korea on Monday.
