9 July
Bangladesh put up a total of 224, thanks largely to an excellent 115 by Yousuf Rahman and 52 by Nazim Shirazi. From the commanding heights of 170/0, though, they lost all ten wickets for 54 runs (and their last six for 16) as La'a Aukopi returned outstanding figures of 5-14 from 11 overs. The Papuans were inspired by this to reach their target with three wickets and three overs remaining, W Maha hitting 60 in a three-wicket victory despite Bangladeshi captain and wicket-keeper Shafiq-ul-Haq making three stumpings in the innings.

Famous quotes containing the word july:
“All the experts here ... say “There will be no war.” They said the same thing all through July 1914.... In those days I believed the experts. Today I have my tongue in my cheek. This does not mean I am become cynical; but as President I have to be ready just like a Fire Department!”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
