Malaysia vs Saudi Arabia Betting Tips
Malaysia to score over 17.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)
Malaysia were not up to the mark in their first game. They suffered a loss due to a weak performance in the last game. However, their opening partnership looked intact in the game. They scored 35 runs before their 1st dismissal against Nepal in the last game. Muhammad Amir and Virandeep Singh open for the team. Amir and Singh average at 14.88 & 38.11 respectively in their respective T20I careers. Prior entering this competition, they played two T20Is against Papua New Guinea and scored 8 & 84 runs before their 1st wicket in those games. That said, the opening order looks in safe hands and will look to score high in the next game.

Malaysia vs Saudi Arabia Betting Odds
Saudi Arabia will be led by their veteran skipper Rohit Paudel in this year's ACC Cup too. Kushal Bhurtel and Keeper Aasif Sheikh are expected to open the batting with the likes of Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Bhim Sarki, Karan KC and Gulshan Jha to partner their skipper in the middle order. Pacers Karan KC and Sompal Kami will open their bowling with Gulshan Jha expected to slot in as the third pacer in the playing XI. Lalit Rajabanshi, Bibesh Yadav and Pratik GC will take care of the bowling department. It should be a smooth sail for Saudi Arabia as they have a good experience playing against Malaysia.
In the finals of the Quadrangular T20 series (Thailand), Saudi Arabia faced Thailand in their last T20I outing. In the game, Thailand could only score 104/9. Usman Khalid picked 4 wickets in the game. Chasing was very easy for the team as they won the game after they posted 108/2, winning the game by 8 wickets and 52 balls to spare. Faisal Khan remained unbeaten with the score of 47 runs in the game.
