5:15pm: Shahid takes high-fives from his team-mates. Contrastingly, glum faces in the PNG camp. Hong Kong had thumped Namibia by 83 runs to seal their playoff berth. This means that Ireland automatically qualify for the World T20 in India and USA crash out, despite three wins in a row. Hong Kong are now level with Namibia and PNG with 7 points. Until next time, goodbye and good night..
Ghous, USA captain: We did not qualify but we will have to live with it. We finished on a high and will come back strong. I am proud of my boys and there is a lot of talent. We just need more cricket and we have to pick it up. Nicholas' performance in the last two games was great. We would love to come back and play again.
Vare, PNG captain: We couldn't get through the line. We expected USA to come hard at us and we wanted to control what we wanted to control. We are still in the tournament. We couldn't build on partnerships. We will find ways to get back and improve ourselves.
Nicholas Stanford collects his second straight Man-of-the-Match award.
Stanford: I was just getting into my stride. We played well and came out wit another win. I just played my natural game and we knew we had the bowling to defend 147.
