Josefa Falani Rika (9 November 1987 – 3 February 2020) was a Fijian cricket player and coach.
[12] A writer for ESPNcricinfo described Rika's innings as "what must rank as one of the most breathtaking knocks in the history of age-group cricket".
[13] Fiji again faced Japan in its next match, the third-place playoff, and were set a total of only 36 runs, with Rika scoring another 28 not out from 10 balls.
Rika, aged 22 at the time, was appointed Fiji's captain in the place of the injured Joe Sorovakatini,[19] and again made his highest score against Jersey, although his innings of 75 from 134 balls was not enough to prevent his side losing.
Again named captain, Rika led Fiji's batting with 185 runs from six innings,[21] and twice scored half-centuries – 55 against Kuwait and 52 against Jersey.
[25] However, in June 2014 he announced that he would come out of retirement and continue playing for Fiji in international tournaments, alongside his development work.
[26] Rika captained Fiji at the 2014 EAP Twenty20 Championship and was also named for the 2015 WCL Division Six tournament in England.
