Match Details:

The 7th game of the 2019 Malaysia Men’s CWC Challenge League A will be played between Malaysia and Qatar at the Selangor Turf Club in Kuala Lumpur.

The match starts at 10:00 AM local time (2:00 AM GMT) (7:30 AM IST).

Preview:

The hosts Malaysia were rattled by a sensational effort with the bat from Canada. Navneet Dhaliwal led his team from the front with a 140-run knock as Canada posted a record score of 408/7. Their innings included as many as 28 sixes which is also a record. Malaysia were bundled out for 202 in the chase; two runs less than half of Canada’s total. Poor conversion of starts didn’t help the hosts in reducing the losing margin.

They did begin their campaign with a 44-run win over Denmark despite struggling for the first 20 overs of both innings. They would like to make a comeback on Friday when they face Qatar in Selangor. Qatar’s tournament began with a close win over Singapore. Qatar won by 19 runs while defending their total of 232/8. Singapore lost their last seven wickets for 15 runs when 35 runs were needed from seven overs.

Weather Condition/Report:

The weather forecast suggested Haze on Friday, especially in the morning. It could delay the start of the game but the weather afterwards is quite clear.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Canada chased down the target of 160 comfortably against Vanuatu in the first match here while Denmark came close to Singapore’s total of 249/7. The track was good for a 225-run chase as Denmark’s poor bowling at the end allowed Singapore to add 20 extra runs.
