MAS vs HKG Team Preview & Squads

Malaysia 

Malaysia has endured a tough tri-series campaign, losing all three of their matches and remaining winless at the bottom of the table. As the hosts, they will be eager to end on a high note with a morale-boosting victory.

Their batting lineup has struggled for consistency, requiring a standout performance to reverse their fortunes. While Syed Aziz Mubarak, Virandeep Singh, and Ahmed Aqeel have the potential to make an impact, only Virandeep has delivered so far, scoring 108 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 122.72. However, no other batter has managed to surpass the 50-run mark in the tournament.

The bowling unit of MAS has also faced challenges. Syed Aziz and Pavandeep Singh have both claimed four wickets, but their economy rates remain on the higher side, exceeding seven runs per over. Virandeep has contributed with three wickets while maintaining a similar economy rate.

Malaysia Squads

Ahmad Faiz, Ainool Hafizs, Muhammad Amir, Shakib Ali, Zubaidi Zulkifle, Virandeep Singh, Syed Aziz, Khizar Hayat, Sharvin Muniandy, Pavandeep Singh, Rizwan Haider, Syazrul Idrus, S Vijay Unni, Amir Khan, Aslam Khan, Haiqal Khair, Muhammad Akram, Sharveen Surendran. 

Hong Kong

Hong Kong began their tri-series campaign with a defeat to Bahrain but quickly recovered, securing back-to-back victories over Malaysia and Bahrain. Their latest win was particularly impressive, edging out Bahrain in a dramatic Super Over.

With their place in the final already secured, HKG will use their final group match to fine-tune their game. They will rely on key batters like Zeeshan Ali, Anshuman Rath, and Babar Hayat to deliver strong performances. Zeeshan has been in fine touch at the top, amassing 119 runs in three matches, while Anshuman’s brilliant 97 off 66 balls against Malaysia in the last game will give him confidence heading into this contest.

Lower down the order, Shahid Wasif and Yasim Murtaza have the firepower to add quick runs when needed.

On the bowling front, Anas Khan and Ayush Shukla have been reliable performers, each claiming four wickets so far. Ehsan Khan further strengthens the attack with his experience. Meanwhile, Yasim Murtaza demonstrated his effectiveness in the middle overs, delivering an impressive spell of 3-18 in the previous match against Bahrain.

Hong Kong Squads

Ayush Shukla, Ehsan Khan, Haroon Arshad, Ateeq Iqbal, Anshy Rath, Waqas Barkat, Babar Hayat, Yasim Murtaza, Aizaz Khan, Nasrulla Rana, Martin Coetzee, Nizakat Khan, Shiv Mathur, Shahid Wasif. 

Malaysia vs Hong Kong outfield report 

Given the likelihood of rain tomorrow afternoon, both sides may decide that chasing is the best course of action. The DLS approach might be applied in a condensed game, giving the toss decision more weight. In Kuala Lumpur, expect overcast skies and the possibility of rain in the afternoon, which could cause the match to be interrupted. The dry pitch at the Bayuemas Oval allows for clean hitting, and the slower track is ideal for batsmen in the early going.
