• Johnson Charles, who came in as an opener for West Indies, returned to the pavilion without opening his account.
• After this, Nicholas Pooran came out to bat and in the 1.2 over of Papua New Guinea bowler Ali Nao, Pooran was deceived and the ball hit the pad. After this Ali Nao appealed.
• But the umpire refused to give out. If PNG captain Assad Wala had taken DRS during this time, Nicholas Pooran would have been out on a golden duck. In such a situation, PNG could have won this match.
