Assad Vala (PNG captain): Vanua is a really good batsman and he likes playing against Scotland. Getting exposure, playing more games, testing ourselves against quality opposition in different situations will make us good. If we can play more games against teams like Scotland and tier-1 nations, we can express ourselves more. We haven't started well in both games. Our bowling gave away runs at the start, we pegged them back, we bowled well in the end. We believed we could chase it down, but we didn't start as well as we would have liked.
