Indonesia

The Indonesian national team became an affiliated member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2001 and an associate member in 2017. Indonesia does not play Test matches, as they are not among the 12 teams eligible for such games. However, they have T20 status and currently sit in 59th place in the global rankings for this format.

The team has never played in the T20 World Cup, with their most recent tournament being the ACC Challenger Cup, where they finished in sixth place. In their last five matches, all against Thailand, Indonesia won twice and lost three times.

Japan

Japan has been a member of the ICC since 1989, playing their first match in 1996 against Malaysia. In April 2018, the ICC granted full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Since January 1, 2019, all of Japan's matches hold full T20I status. Japan is currently ranked 49th in the global T20 rankings.

While they attempted to qualify for the T20 World Cup, they did not manage to reach the final stages. Japan's form has been excellent, winning all five of their recent matches, all against Mongolia. After facing Indonesia, they will take on the Philippines.

Match Facts

• Japan is unbeaten in their last seven matches. Indonesia has lost their last two games.
• In the last five head-to-head matches, Japan has won three, and Indonesia two.
• The most recent match between these teams ended with Indonesia winning by six wickets.

Prediction

Japan is in superb form, unlike Indonesia, which has been rather inconsistent recently. Given their lower ranking and recent performances, I would bet on Japan to win this game.
