  • vs Philippines – The batters unleashed, posting 132/8 in 20 overs to secure a 76-run win.

Final: Against the Philippines, defending just 58, the opposition bowled with discipline and picked up regular breakthroughs. But Indonesia held their nerve, crossing the line by 3 wickets with 14 balls remaining.
