Hong Kong vs Malaysia Betting Tips

Hong Kong to score under 19.5 runs 1st dismissal ( 1.85 @PARIMATCH)

Hong Kong has a pretty solid batting order overall. However, their opening order has suffered many difficulties in the recent games. Coming into this competition, they faced Qatar in the 1st game and scored 4 runs before they lost their 1st wicket. The openers did not play well in the next two games and posted 7 & 12 runs before their first dismissal in those games. Martin Coetzee and Yasim Murtaza opened for the team average at 6.00 & 3.33 respectively in the competition. Malaysia has a decent bowling order and will definitely disrupt the plans of Hong Kong. That said, Hong Kong will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.
