Fiji are through to the final of the inaugural Pasifika Under-17 Cricket Tri-Series after handing Vanuatu their first loss of the tournament.

After being put in to bat, the home side struggled through to 24-2 after ten overs but finished strongly to post 104 for 4, with Delaimatuki Sokoiwasa top-scoring with 48.

Vanuatu were dismissed for just 75 runs in reply, inside 13 overs, with Josaia Baleicikobia bagging four wickets.

The afternoon game between Fiji and Tonga was abandoned after just 5.1 overs because of rain.
