A defeat for Qatar would have ended their World Cup hopes, but now they sit level with Japan on two points, having played one game more.<\/p>\n After winning the toss and opting to bowl, the Qatar team were quickly celebrating the dismissal of the Japan captain in the first over.<\/p>\n One became two as Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake, recalled for the injured Sabaorish Ravichandran, fell in the third over leaving Japan 17 for two.<\/p>\n Esam Rahman held things together for Japan, firstly with Abhishek Anand (25 off 25 balls) and later Benjamin Ito-Davis (32 off 32) as he moved to his second half century of the tournament.<\/p>\n Rahman struck three sixes on his way to 60 not out from 47 balls, taking Japan to 139 for four from the 20 overs.<\/p>\n The second innings power-play was full of drama as both openers survived chances before being dismissed cheaply by Ibby Takahashi (two for 20).<\/p>\n Qatar also rebuilt as Shariq Munir made 41 from 27 and at 105 for four with five overs to go, looked in a good position.<\/p>\n Japan came charging back however, as Ito-Davis took two wickets in the 16th over to finish with three for 28, one being a superlative catch from Declan Suzuki.<\/p>\n Charlie Hara-Hinze took another in the 17th and suddenly Qatar needed 32 from the last three overs.<\/p>\n Ultimately however, it was Qatar, ranked 28th in the world, who had enough experience to squeeze home with three wickets<\/a>, and two balls to spare.<\/p>\n Japan will go again tomorrow, knowing that wins against UAE and Oman (on Friday) could still be enough to secure a berth at the World Cup.<\/p>\n *Oman is 5 hours behind Japan<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n All tournament matches can be watched live on <\/span>ICC.tv<\/span><\/a> while matches can also be followed live on the JCA App.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mitsui Knowledge Industry Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
