Malaysia vs Kuwait Betting Tips

Kuwait to lose an early wicket before 1st dismissal (@PARIMATCH)

Malaysia is a stronger team on paper in comparison to Kuwait in the 20 over format. Kuwait has Clinto Anto and Ravija Sandaruwan as their opening batters. Kuwait pulled a stunner and won the last game. Kuwait has posted the scores of 20, 8 & 44 runs before their first dismissal in three games. They scored fairly well against Hong Kong but had some trouble against the Malaysian bowlers. Moreover, Malaysia boasts a pretty efficient bowling order and Kuwait could only score 8 runs before their 1st dismissal in the last clash against them. That said, Kuwait is expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.

Malaysia vs Kuwait 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 below 31 degrees Celsius.
