With the World Twenty20 Qualifier now over for all but three teams, we round-up the action from the matches to decide 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th place.

At the global cricket academy in the afternoon, Papua New Guinea took on Nepal in the seventh place play-off, with PNG batting first after winning the toss. They put on a well below par total of 129-5 from their 20 overs, with Vani Morea top scoring with an unbeaten 34.

Nepal's batting frailties looked to have returned when Sharad Vesawkar was the fourth man out in the 11th over with the score on just 58. But captain Paras Khadka kept the innings together, and when Nepal were left needing 19 from nine balls, he hit a huge six to bring up his fifty, and scored three more runs from the over.

With ten needed from the last over, Khadka top edged the ball to the third man boundary, and ran a quick single from the next delivery, trusting Prithu Baskota to score the five required runs from the last four balls. He hit the third delivery of the over for four to bring the scores level, then hit another four two balls later to secure the five wicket win.

Nepal may have put in a rather patchy performance at times in this tournament, but by finishing seventh, they finally reach a position to match their promise. If they can keep it together in the 50 over format, they could well make a run for the World Cup Qualifying tournament in 2014.

Papua New Guinea will probably be satisfied with their eighth place in the tournament, which is one better than their current one-day ranking. However with no tournament currently planned for them until 2013, they need to ensure that they do not lose focus on the interim.

It is thought that Geraint Jones will be doing some coaching work in the country after the conclusion of the English season, enabling him to meet the development criteria and begin to play for the team in matches where they are in place, such as the World Cricket League. It is their youth development programme that PNG put such pride in though, and they will hope to put in a good showing at the Under-19 World Cup in Australia later this year.

At the same ground in the morning, Kenya ended a disappointing tournament with victory in the ninth place play-off against Italy. Batting first, Kenya scored 170-5 from their twenty overs, Morris Ouma top scoring with 51.

Italy had surprisingly not picked Gareth Berg or Michael Di Venuto for this match, and their batting didn't look as strong without them. Both openers were removed cheaply, and Italy were unable to keep up with the rate, despite a 47 run partnership for the third wicket between Peter Petricola and Andy Northcote. They were eventually bowled out for 132 to lose by 38 runs, Hiren Varaiya the pick of the Kenyan bowlers with 4-25.

Kenya may have entered the ICC's Twenty20 International rankings during this tournament, but their fifteenth position on that table clearly flatters them after their ninth place finish in this event. Namibia look to be taking their position as the region's top associate side, and the matches between the two teams in Kenya in June will be worth paying close attention to. Much work to be done for the Kenyans.

With the high profile recruitment of Michael Di Venuto and Gareth Berg, Italy may have been expecting to do better in this tournament, so will probably be disappointed with tenth place, especially after a promising start. The aforementioned selections have done much to put Italy's selection policies under more scrutiny though, and it really is about time they started to produce more homegrown players.

With the influential MCC World Cricket Committee recommending that such practices are looked at, the Italians need to go back to the drawing board and stop relying so much on imported players. With no tournament planned for them until next year, they have plenty of time to do so.

On the global cricket academy secondary ground in the afternoon, Hong Kong took on the USA in the eleventh place play-off. Batting first, Hong Kong scored 144-4 from their 20 overs, captain Jamie Atkinson smashing 63 from 38 balls.

The USA's reply saw Aizaz Khan rip through most of their upper and middle order, taking 5-25, and they never recovered from that point. They were eventually bowled out for just 100, losing by 77 runs, the Florida born Steven Taylor the only batsman to show any fight, scoring 26 from 12 balls before he became the first of three wickets for Nizakat Khan.

Hong Kong will be satisfied with eleventh place in the tournament after fielding what was a very young and developing side. They will be hoping to keep much of this side together for the ACC Trophy, also in the UAE, later this year.

The USA on the other hand have had another poor tournament. Much more is needed if they are to come through Division Four of the World Cricket League with what is left of their reputation intact. Governance problems have meant that they are unable to have home advantage in that tournament, though, with the replacement hosts yet to be announced.

At the same venue in the morning, Bermuda and Uganda took each other on in the 13th place play-off. Bermuda batted first and reached 179-4 from their 20 overs, Janeiro Tucker top scoring with 62 from 41 balls. Fiqre Crockwell and Lionel Cann also contributed with 47 and 42 respectively.

Uganda couldn't keep up with the rate in reply, and were restricted to 138-5 from their 20 overs, losing by 41 runs, with Arthur Kyobe top scoring with 41.

Whilst Bermuda will be happy with their thirteenth place finish, it has to be said that it flatters them some what. They owe the fact that they weren't playing off for last place yesterday solely to that remarkable finish to their game against Papua New Guinea when Janeiro Tucker smashed three sixes in three balls. On this form, they could well struggle to retain their position in WCL Division Three when it is played next year.

Uganda will be disappointed with their finish in this tournament, especially as they beat Namibia in the final of African qualifying. With Kenya in decline, they will hope to put in a strong showing at the Africa Division One Championship in August.
