Sese Bau became the second Papua New Guinea batter to score a fifty in the T20 World Cup, during his side’s opening game against West Indies on Sunday.

The left-handed batter matched the feat of his team captain Assad Vala, who scored a fifty against Oman in the 2021 edition.

Bau was fluent against the strong West Indian bowling attack, scoring six fours and a six as he scored his fourth T20I fifty. The 31-year-old scored three of those boundaries against spinner Gudakesh Motie in the same over.

Bau was eventually bowled by Alzarri Joseph with a slower ball.
