Malaysia vs Hong Kong Betting Tips

Hong Kong to score low runs before 1st dismissal (@PARIMATCH)

Hong Kong’s opening order revolves around Martin Coetzee and Anshuman Rath. The openers managed to score 10 runs before their first dismissal against Malaysia in their last clash against them. In their last game in the current competition, the openers led a partnership of 1 run before Martin Coetzee lost his wicket. Coetzee and Rath average at 24.70 & 26.15 respectively in the format. Despite that, Malaysia's strong bowling order will disable the openers to score well for their opening partnership.

Malaysia vs Hong Kong Toss Prediction

Selangor Turf Club, Kuala Lumpur, is a small venue, and the pitch here is a good one to bat on. The shorter boundaries here make hitting easy. Fast bowlers have done well on this surface, and spinners tend to do well as the game progresses. It is the first game on this wicket after a long gap, and we expect the pitch to have something for the bowlers. It will improve in the second innings, where batters can easily hit through the line. We expect the side to opt to bowl first after winning the toss in the next game.

Weather Report

The skies over Kuala Lumpur will be overcast, and rain may disrupt the game. The temperature will remain under 29 degrees Celsius.
