Pacific women's cricket is on the world map, thanks to Samoa and Vanuatu.

Winning the ICC Under-19s women's East Asia Pacific T20 qualifier in Bali sees Samoa qualifying for their first world cup.

Vanuatu, ranked 30th, recently returned from the Women's T20 World Cup qualifier, where they beat 12th ranked Zimbabwe in a first win over a full international side.

RNZ Pacific's senior sports journalist Iliesa Tora has the story.
