With the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Final being the most colossal tournament for the five partaking sides in recent time, this showpiece tournament was always going to be an extremely competitive and arduously competed one. And it lived up to its nature yesterday, giving us the first big upset as Nepal were stunned by Qatar to lose their tournament opener.
Taking on a side who they were heavily touted to make light work of and clean apart, the result took everyone by surprise as Nepal were defeated by 4 wickets. It was a dejecting batting performance which lead them down with Nepal surprisingly shambolically collapsing for only 122, a total which was never going to be enough for them to defend.
And despite all the resilient efforts of their bowlers to keep Nepal in the encounter, the lowly score which they were asked to defend proved to be too improbable a task at the end of the day. Nepal now take on Malaysia today in both the side’s second encounter of the qualification event as they look to comeback from a result which massively hampers their aspirations of making it to the ICC 2019 T20 World Cup Qualifiers.
Malaysia meanwhile had gotten their campaign off to a scintillating start after cleaning apart Kuwait courtesy of a clinical performance with both the bat and ball, a win which had served them extremely fruitfully. Although Nepal is a completely different proposition, Malaysia will be looking to emulate their outstanding bowling display from the previous match today.
Probable Winner
The last time these two played was early this year itself in a two match T20 series where Nepal have gone onto complete a sweep as they defeat Malaysia in both of those matches. Ever since then, Malaysia have massively improved their side, addressing the areas which were pegging them back to be a much more revitalised outfit today.
Nepal can’t be underestimated despite the harrowing defeat they endured yesterday. The side are still one of the finest side participating in this tournament and will be looking to open their account against Malaysia today. Expect this to be an edge of the seat thriller, one where we see Nepal managing to just about scamper to a win.

Bowling Order for MAL vs NEP Dream11
The one big takeaway from yesterday’s match in the trounamnet was that as they matches are progressing, the pitch is become more and more tepid to bat on. We are now seeing a used surface being doled out to play the matches, one which has severely fallen apart given that there’s been no time to work on it.
With the track massively favouring the bowlers and helping them in this match, expect Nepal to make things tough for Malaysia with their spinners extracting massive turn and guile on this wicket. This script sees us go ahead with Sandeep Lamichhane from the side while coming in from Malaysia are Fitri Sham and Pavandeep Singh with the dup picking up four wickets in between them the last time around.
