Welcome to Eglinton Cricket Club for the U19 World Cup Qualifier between Canada and Papua New Guinea. Both sides have won three of their games and only net run rate puts PNG ahead in the table, so this game is crucial. The weather is very dull here but it is dry at the moment, although we are expecting some showers during the day. News from the middle is that PNG have won the toss and have put Canada in to bat.
