Nepal vs Malaysia Betting Odds
In their recent clash with Singapore, Nepal chose to field first and managed to limit their opponents to a total of 145 runs while taking 9 wickets. Abinash Bohara's remarkable 3-wicket haul for 43 runs was a standout performance in Nepal's bowling. When it came to chasing the target, Nepal's strong batting lineup made it look relatively easy. They reached 147 runs in the 17th over, securing an 8-wicket victory. The star of the match was Kushal Bhurtel, who displayed his prowess by smashing 74 runs off just 28 deliveries.
In contrast, Malaysia's recent track record against Nepal hasn't been favourable, and their first loss in the competition hasn't done wonders for their confidence. In their previous encounter with Oman, Malaysia struggled with their bowling, conceding 153 runs while managing to take just 6 wickets. When it came to their turn to chase, Malaysia fell short, posting a total of 121 runs, resulting in a 32-run loss. As they approach their upcoming fixture against Nepal, Malaysia finds themselves as the underdogs, hoping to deliver a more promising performance and turn their fortunes around. This match offers an opportunity for Malaysia to regroup and show resilience in the face of a challenging opponent, Nepal.
