Japan’s captain, Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming, was the top scorer with 60 runs off 46 balls. He shared an 86-run partnership for the second wicket with Ism Rahman, who contributed 31 runs off 25 balls. Despite heading toward a big total at one point, Japan’s middle-order collapse restricted them to 131 runs.
