The Malaysia Quadrangular T20I Series has almost reached its culmination after a week of cricket. The final two games of the league stages are to be held on 9th July before the final takes place.
Let’s look at the last two league games of the Malaysia Quadrangular T20I series.
Malaysia Quadrangular T20I Match 11: Malaysia vs Maldives
Malaysia have steam-rolled every team they have faced in the tournament so far. They comfortably sit at the top with 10 points in five games and a Net Run Rate of +5.387. Led by openers Zubaidi Zulkifle and Virandeep Singh, Malaysia have ended most of their run chases in under 10 overs. Syazrul Ezat has led the bowling unit with Virandeep Singh to restrict opponents under 100 on many occasions.
The Maldives on the other hand are third with two wins in their last five games. In their last match, they defeated Thailand by 41 runs and would be looking to give a similar performance against Malaysia.
