Papua New Guinea have consigned Fiji to yet another big defeat at the East Asia Pacific Under 17 cricket tournament in Vanuatu.

The Young Barramundi's piled on 316 for 5 in their 35 overs, helped by an opening stand of 176 between openers Dogodo Bau and Nigel Boge.

Allan Joseph and Ferrol Ifuda then took four wickets a piece as Fiji were skittled for just 86 in reply.

In Thursday's other match hosts Vanuatu beat Indonesia by 76 runs.
