The President of Vanuatu Cricket, Mark Stafford, says now it's up to them to finish the job.
"The completion of the first phase of our campaign is to top the group and play off in the crossover semis with the second-ranked team in Group A, which will happen on Friday given that Saudi Arabia is no longer participating in the tournament. We will be using the day that we were scheduled to play Saudi just for refinement, some practice and a bit of relaxation".

Suriname to reach their target with six wickets and two balls to spare and coach Shane Jurgensen says they have yet to put a complete performance on the park.
"That's probably been what's disappointing over the last two days is we haven't quite performed as a team in all the departments. Yesterday we sort of had a few of the boys let down the team and today it was a few other boys. It's not that I'm blaming anyone but it's just that we haven't really performed well as a team and that's the most disappointing aspect of the last two days".
Shane Jurgensen says despite being out of the playoff hunt they want to finish strong in their final match against Botswana.
