\"\"\"\"<\/a>Japan moved to a 2-0 lead in the series against Mongolia thanks to some superb seam bowling by youngster Kazuma Kato-Stafford.<\/p>\n

After a second career best in as many days from Sabaorish Ravichandran, who struck 69 from 39 balls to lead Japan to a total of 217 for seven, the left-arm seamer struck with the first ball of the defence and never looked back.<\/p>\n

He finished with impressive figures of five for just seven runs as Mongolia were dismissed for just 12 to give Japan a win by 205 runs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

In the afternoon it was the turn of another member of the 2023 Under 19 side to come good, as Koji Hardgrave-Abe hit the highest score of the series so far.<\/p>\n

As Japan batted first for the third time in succession, Hardgrave-Abe struck a 34-ball 80 in a partnership of 131 with Benjamin Ito-Davis (47), who had become the 108th person to represent Japan in the morning match.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

After posting a score of 253 for four the team were confident of a third victory only for the rain to set in just nine-balls into the second innings causing the match to be abandoned<\/a>.<\/p>\n
