A career best 72 off 54 balls from Wataru Miyauchi helped set up a 166-run win<\/a> for Japan in the first of the seven-match series against Mongolia.<\/p>\n

Winning the toss and batting first, captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming (41 off 36 balls) played second fiddle in a partnership of 118 with Miyauchi before Sabaorish Ravichandran struck a rapid 54 from 24 balls to join Miyauchi in making a career-best international score.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

There were positives for Mongolia with captain Luvsanzundui Erdenebulgan taking three for 34 from his four overs, although Japan’s 199 for five always looked a tall order for the visitors.<\/p>\n

It proved as much, and with rain threatening to come down the Japanese bowlers were able to take wickets regularly, Charlie Hinze having his best day in a Japan shirt picking up four wickets for just four runs.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

There were Japanese debuts for Abdul Samad and Kiefer Yamamoto-Lake, who both marked the occasion with a wicket apiece.<\/p>\n

The teams will return to the Sano International Cricket Ground tomorrow to play a double header with matches starting at 09:30 and 14:00.<\/p>\n
