The Men’s Japan National Team eased to a second victory in as many days over the Cook Islands to wrap up a 2-0 series win and end the international spring season on a positive note.<\/p>\n

The victory was set up by a chanceless 60 from returning captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming who, along with a busy 37* from Wataru Miyauchi, led the team to 139 for eight from the 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Japan were able to do as they often\u00a0 do with the ball, which was apply pressure with runs on the board, despite a more positive outlook from the visitors as they took 14 runs off the first over of the chase.<\/p>\n

Abdul Samad started the rot however, striking twice in three balls in his opening over before Charlie Hara-Hinze chipped in next over. Benjamin Ito-Davis (three for 21) then took over and the Islanders were eventually all out for 97 in the 18th over as Japan sealed a 42-run win<\/a>.<\/p>\n
