The last match of the East Asia-Pacific sub-regional qualifier A for the T20 World Cup 2026 will be played between hosts Samoa and Vanuatu.
It will be a do-or-die match for hosts Samoa as a loss here would end their hopes of making it to the final stage of qualifiers. Even a win for Samoa might not suffice. If Cook Islands defeat Fiji in the match preceding the Samoa-Vanuatu encounter, then Samoa's hopes will be over.
If Cook Islands lose, a win for Samoa will help them get through on the virtue of being superior in terms of net run rate.
For Vanuatu, the champions of last time this tournament was played, this campaign did not go as planned. They have just win in five outings will be looking to bow out on a high in the last match.
