\"\"<\/span>Japan completed a routine win over Fiji on Day Two of the ICC Men\u2019s U19 WC EAP Division One<\/a> 2025.<\/p>\n

After a second delay in successive days the match was reduced for 40 overs and after the toss was finally taken Fiji called correctly and chose to bat first.<\/p>\n

As in the previous day Kazuma Kato-Stafford made an early breakthrough but it was the spinners who did the most damage.<\/p>\n

Just four Japanese bowlers were used and the Fiji batters had no answers to the guile of Charlie Hara-Hinze (five for 20), and Nihar Parmar (four for 19) as Japan took all ten wickets for just 54 runs in 18.3 overs.<\/p>\n

Fiji were boisterous and energetic in the field and were able to pick up four wickets of their own before Hara-Hinze made batting look easier than anyone else on the day with a quickfire 23* from 14 balls to give Japan the win by six wickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n
