The Mele-Tafea Bulls could have the strongest side on paper, with the side very much a family affair, filled with famous names in emerging cricket circles. Former Vanuatu captain Andrew Mansale leads the team, with several other full internationals in the team, including Patrick Matautaava, Clement Tommy and Williamsing Nalisa. Clement Tommy has a history of scoring big in T20 domestic tournaments in Vanuatu, while all-rounder Nalisa, one of the youngest members of the senior team, will be a handful with his leg-spin.

Patrick Matautaava is arguably the most credentialed cricketer at the tournament, with a strong international record and elite club-level experience in Victoria at multiple clubs. Meanwhile, off-spinner Vincent Matautaava also represented the Vanuatu U19 side at the East-Asia Pacific World Cup qualifiers, with Nono Chilia and Marcel Taea also current U19 internationals.

The Bulls have no shortage of power hitting, and the variety in their bowling stocks will make them tough to beat.
