The Japan Men slipped to a three-wicket defeat<\/a> in the final match of the three match series against Indonesia, meaning the contest ends as a 2-1 victory to the hosts.<\/p>\n

After winning the toss and choosing to bat for the third match in a row, the Japanese batters were unable to impose themselves in the same manner as they had the previous day.<\/p>\n

After losing three early wickets there was a recovery of sorts as Ibrahim Takahashi tried to move things along in making a run-a-ball 26, however his dismissal precipitated a major collapse as Indonesia took seven wickets for just 22 runs, with Ediguna Artawan grabbing four for 12 with his leg-spin.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

A target of 80 always looked light of what was required, and it looked even smaller after Agus Priandana struck 17 off the first over. A fightback led by Piyush Kumbhare with two for eight in his four overs had Indonesia stuttering at 53 for five in the 11th over.<\/p>\n

Japan ended up taking seven wickets to make things interesting, however Indonesia always seemed in control and ultimately passed the target with four overs to spare.<\/p>\n

Artawan was named MVP for his bowling display and looks a bowler to be wary of in the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers<\/a>, while Reo Sakurano-Thomas was named Player of the Series.<\/p>\n\"\"\n
