Malaysia vs Singapore Chance of Winning
Malaysia and Singapore go head to head in a game which would most certainly decide which team would top Group C. It’s unfortunate as two strong contenders are in the same group and it would be a travesty if either team fails to make the knockout round. Both teams have been playing international cricket since 2019 which would make this a very competitive game which hasn't been the case in the opening round of fixtures in this competition. As per our calculations, Malaysia are slight favourites as they head into this fixture.
- Malaysia’s chances of winning - 65%
- Singapore’s chances of winning - 35%
Malaysia vs Singapore Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Zubaidi Zulkifle has struggled to score well in the last few games. In the last four games, Zulkifle has managed to score 22, 2, 6 and 16 which is way below his standards as he has averaged 23.72 throughout his career. We believe Zubaidi Zulkifle would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.
Malaysia vs Singapore Match Toss Prediction
We saw Nepal post a 300+ total in the opening game which makes us believe the wickets don't have much assistance for the bowlers. Considering this is the opening fixture for both sides, we believe both sides would prefer to bat first on this wicket.
Weather Report
With 10% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 31C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 24C.

Malaysia Team Form
Malaysia lost two of the last three games which was mainly due to the fact they rested their key players prior to the Asian Games. Malaysia are 4-0 in the last four games against Singapore which should give them a psychological advantage in the upcoming game.

Head to Head
Malaysia: 4
Singapore: 4
Malaysia vs Singapore Betting Odds
Malaysia to hit more sixes than Singapore in upcoming game
One of the main reasons why Malaysia has exploded in the recent past has been their aggressive approach in batting that has reaped rewards which is pretty evident if you look at their form in 2023. In the last five games, no team has been able to record more sixes than Malaysia. On the other hand Singapore have conceded more sixes than they have scored in two of the last three games which makes this a very enticing betting tip. We believe Malaysia would score more sixes than Singapore and you should encash on this betting tip to make some quick monetary return.
Malaysia vs Singapore Top Team Batters
Virandeep Singh to be Malaysia’s top batter
Virandeep Singh has been the most consistent batter for Malaysia in the last two years and with 1823 runs, Virandeep is the top run scorer for Malaysia since the inception of T20 cricket in the country. We believe Virandeep would play a significant role in the Asian Games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming fixture.
Janak Prakash to be Singapore’s top batter
Looking at his batting and bowling figures one can make a case of Prakash being the best player for Singapore since the inception of cricket in this country. Prakash currently is the top run scorer and also holds the record for most wickets for Singapore which makes him our top pick for the game.
Malaysia vs Singapore Top Team Bowlers
Syazrul Idrus to be Malaysia’s top bowler
Syazrul Idrus was rested in the games leading up to the Asian Games which showcases his importance in the current squad. With 51 wickets, Idrus is the leading wicket taker for Malaysia in T20 format which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Janak Prakash to be Singapore’s top bowler
Janak Prakash has been one of the stand out bowlers for Singapore since inception of cricket in Singapore and has been one of the cornerstones for Singapore cricket. With 40 wickets in 35 matches, Prakash is the top wicket taker for Singapore which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Malaysia
Even though Malaysia have lost two of the last three games, they would be the most confident team out of the two sides as prior to the games against Papua New Guinea, they won five games on the bounce and have beaten Singapore in the last four occasions which would give them a big boost heading into this competition.
Singapore have had a rough ride in the T20 format having lost 16 of the last 20 matches which is pretty staggering. On a positive note, Singapore have managed to turn things around and have registered two wins in the last three games against Philippines and Indonesia which should give them some confidence in the upcoming game.
Both teams are on the opposite spectrum in the form table and with Malaysia dominating this fixture in recent history we believe Malaysia are slight favourites heading into this game and should bag maximum points come Sept 28.
Malaysia to win @ 1.42 (Parimatch)
Singapore to win @ 2.84 (Parimatch)
