Malaysia vs Qatar Chance Winning
Malaysia and Qatar will be up against each other in this Group A fixture of the ACC Men's Premier Cup 2024 on Monday. Malaysia are in a better position, having won once in their first two games while Qatar have lost two out of two and are sitting at the bottom in the group.
Malaysia are coming off a 12-run victory over Saudi Arabia. Opting to bat first, they had a horrible start with half the side back in the hut for just 53 runs. Aqeel Wahid produced a great rescue act for the team, scoring an unbeaten 65 off 46 deliveries to power the total to 146 in 20 overs.
Defending the target, Malaysia were in a spot of bother with Saudi Arabia being 90/3 in 12.3 overs. Captain Virandeep Singh provided the breakthrough which brought about a collapse. He picked 3 for 20 whereas Muhammad Amir, Khizar Hayat and Vijay Unni bagged two wickets each as they restricted the opponents.
Qatar suffered their second loss in a row on Saturday, where they lost to Nepal by 32 runs. Having to bowl first, they couldn't do much against a strong line-up of Nepal. Himanshu Rathod picked 3 for 26 in four overs but the rest of the attack was hammered as they conceded 210 in 20 overs.
Chasing the target, Qatar were 41 for 2 at the end of five overs. Muhammad Tanveer then produced a blistering knock of 63 off 33 but he kept losing partners at the other end. He was the sixth wicket to fall with the team still needing 85 in 35 balls. The target eventually proved to be out of reach.
Talking about this encounter, Qatar will be slight favourites considering the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides. Check out the two teams' chances of winning this game.
- Malaysia’s chance of winning: 45%
- Qatar's chance of winning: 55%

Malaysia vs Qatar Toss Prediction
Teams usually prefer batting first in T20 cricket at this level for a couple of reasons. Matches are scheduled in the day so that takes out any dew factor and the scoreboard pressure often plays a part. This tournament is being held at one venue and that means pitches could deteriorate. Expect the team winning the toss to bat first in this game.
Weather Report
The weather in Al Amerat, Oman is expected to be partly sunny and humid on Monday afternoon. There could be a good amount of cloud cover but rain might not make any major impact on the game as there is only around a 7% chance of precipitation.
