Nepal vs Malaysia Betting Tips
Nepal to score under 21.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)
Nepal has a good batting order and it has been their strength. However, there runs an inconsistency with the form in the team. Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh opened for the team in the series against Netherlands. The opening partnership did not work there so Binod Bhandari replaced Sheikh in the opening order. Bhandari and Bhurtel average at 16.87 & 31.65 respectively in their respective T20I careers. The pair played a series against Papua New Guinea where they posted 10. 64 & 5 runs before their first dismissal in the three games. Nepal lost their 1st wicket quite early in most of the games. That said, Nepal will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game against Malaysia.

Nepal vs Malaysia Betting Odds
Nepal 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 Nepal as they have a good experience playing against Malaysia.
Malaysia will be led by Ahmed Faiz who takes over the captaincy from Opener Virandeep Singh. Syed Aziz, Sharvin Muniandy, Virandeep Singh will be their top-3 followed by the likes of Ahmed Faiz, Aqueel, and Muhammed Amir in the middle order. Syed Aziz is their lone pacer in the recent matches and they are expected to go in with spin heavy bowling as in recent times. Pavandeep Singh, Vijay Unni, Fitri Sham, Aqueel Wahid and Virandeep Singh will form a team of spinners in their playing XI. Malaysia will hope to put on their best performance in their opening game of the tournament.
