Malaysia Vs Thailand T20 Best Dream 11 Team
Two sides up against each other in the T20 tri-nation series and two sides who have completely found themselves on the other side of the coin when it comes to results. While Malaysia have registered two wins out of two, Thailand on the other hand have two defeats from two with flummoxed batting displays leaving them floundering at the bottom of the league standings.
Up against each other today once again, the outcome looks to hardly change. Thailand who failed to get past Maldives in their previous encounter yesterday have been offered little time to rectify their mistakes in what is hectic and congested schedule in the league. They’ve completely collapsed as a batting side, failing to show the guile, determination and diligence to win matches and Malaysia will make the most of that yet again.
Sitting on top of the league standings with the four points, Malaysia know another win would all but assure them of the title given their extremely healthy run-rate. On the other hand for Thailand it’s all about finally getting off the mark and getting a crucial win which would help hold them in good stead ahead of the impending ACC T20 Qualifiers next month.
Probable Winner for MAL vs TL Dream 11
The last time the two teams had met, Maldives had managed to defeat Thailand by 5 wickets after successfully chasing down the paltry 114 run target set to them in 17 overs. And it’s this problem in the batting unit which has left Thailand playing catch up in all their matches ever since they’ve descended on the three country tournament.
While the bowling side has held its own and shown the resolve needed to trouble teams, the batting has collapsed, something Malaysia will capitalise on to catapult Thailand once again. We see Malaysia winning this match with ease once again and making it two wins out of two against Thailand today.
Wicket-Keepers for MAL vs TL Dream 11
We are opting for two wicket-keepers for this particular match, one from the ether side in the wake of both the players’ consummate success in their previous outing.
With a 53 against Maldives, Shafiq Sharif in the opening role makes an undeniable entry into our Dream 11 side while his 30 against Maldives is enough to see us repose faith in Thailand’s MD Shafiqul Haque once again.
Batsmen for MAL vs TL Dream 11
Apart from Malaysia, the rest of the two countries have been shaky at best when it comes to performing with the bat and we are going to play it safe when it comes to selecting batters for this match. We’ve opted for the bare minimum of three, the two from Maldives while the sole pick comes in from Thailand as well.
Epitomising why they have been regarded so strongly and won both their opening matches at the tournament is the partnership of Ahmad Fiaz and Anwar Arudin for Malaysia. Both have been resolute, the patrons of the biggest total in the marquee event until now and we see them resonating their performances yet again.
Thailand sees Henno Jordaan make an entry for us after the number 3 bat has over the course of the last couple been a steady performer for his country.
All-Rounders for MAL vs TL Dream 11
This was the one department where we were overwhelmed with the impressive options on our hands. It’s a facet lined up to the brim with some exceptional performers and we have nailed down on the best three viable options to come in and incur bagful of points for our outfit today.
The first pick is that of Naveed Pathan from Thailand, a player who has massively impressed us with the bat. His 34 yesterday and 37 against Maldives were two brilliant innings, performances which helped act as the foundation for the rest of the batting order to revolve around.
It’s a two man showing from Malaysia on the other hand with Syed Aziz and Muhamad Syahadat making an entry in our line-up. With a 24 ball 53 against Maldives and 27 against Thailand, Aziz has in particular caught our eye with two flawless batting efforts which coupled with his exuberant showings with the ball make him a must buy.
Bowling Order for MAL vs TL Dream 11
After having compensated for Malaysia’s bowlers in the all-rounders section, we have decided to select two bowlers from Thailand. This is strongest component of Thailand’s side and if they are to make a meal of the match, the partnership of Vichanath Singh and Mahsid Faheem needs to come good for them.
From Malaysia its only Anwar Rahman who finds a place in our side, their stoutheaded pacer who is bound to be among the wickets today.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Both our picks are from Malaysia and both all-rounders as well. Muhamad Syahadat is our captain while Syed Aziz is chosen as the vice-captain.
