Malaysia Quadrangular T20I Series: Match 4 & 5- Preview, Probable XIs, Pitch Report, Match Details, and Updates

The Malaysia Quadrangular T20I Series got off to a good start for Malaysia and a bad one for Bhutan as the first match saw Malaysia beat Bhutan by a huge 155-run margin.

On the 4th of July, a double header has been scheduled between four different teams. Let’s look at the preview for those games.

Match 4 Malaysia Quandrangular T20I Series: Malaysia vs Thailand

In the fourth match of the Malaysia Quadrangular Series, the 31st-placed Malaysia go head to head against 65th-ranked Thailand. Malaysia have already won their first match and that too by a huge margin against the Bhutan team and would be looking up to the Thailand challenge.

Thailand on the other hand last played a game in 2020 against Nepal that they lost by nine wickets. They would have to give a good team performance if they’re to have any chance of a win.

Malaysia Probable XI: Virandeep Singh (c), Ahmad Zubaidi Zulkifle, Mohammad Nazril Abdul Rahman, Sharvin Muniandy, Ainool Hafiz Md Yatim, Pavandeep Singh, Anwar Rahman, Muhammad Amir Azim Abdul Shukor, Muhammad Wafiq Ifran

Match 5 Malaysia Quadrangular T20I: Bhutan vs Maldives

The fifth match of the series will have an unranked team Bhutan go head-to-head with the 67th-ranked Maldives. Bhutan were massively outclassed in the first game of the series against Malaysia losing by 155 runs. They would need to show substantial improvement in their game if they want to win their next.

Maldives on the other hand last played a game in 2020 against Oman in ACC Western Region T20 and lost massively by 10 wickets. They would be rusty and would need to up their game from last time.
