PNG earned ODI status in 2014 and have played the associate-tier schedule since. The archive covers every match.

Origins

PNG played their first ODI in November 2014, having earned status through the WCL Championship pathway. The Pacific island cricket circuit had produced the country’s domestic base since 2001.

Signature players

Assad Vala has captained the side across most of the modern era and is the leading run-scorer; Tony Ura made the highest score, 151 against Ireland in 2018.

Home and away

PNG have played 6 ODIs at home and 60 away. Home: 2 wins, 3 losses and a tie; away 12 wins to 48 losses. Amini Park in Port Moresby is the home ground.

Rivalries

Hong Kong (8 ODIs, 4 wins), Namibia (7 ODIs, no wins) and UAE (11 ODIs, 5 wins) are the closest associate fixtures.

Recent form

PNG lost their ODI status after losing all five games at the 2023 Qualifier Play-off in Namibia. Focus has shifted back to the T20 pathway and the WCL sub-regional route.

What CricArcade shows

The Chase lets you draft a PNG ODI XI from the modern squad and try to chase 380 or set one. The engine reads real careers so an associate-tier profile plays as the record shows.
