Myanmar form

Myanmar's recent form in the last five matches has been mixed with two wins; one early and the other in the last match. However, there have also been three consecutive losses in between, which indicates some inconsistency in their play. They ended everything on a positive note as they won the last match. This means that despite this potential, Myanmar still have a lot of work to do as they have performed better on other days of this tournament.

In the 12th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Sub-regional Qualifier A, Myanmar lost to Kuwait by 8 wickets. Forced to bat first, Myanmar managed a mediocre score in their 20 overs, eventually finishing at 47/7. Pyae Phyo Wai was the top scorer with 16 runs from 38 balls, while Paing Danu contributed 14 runs from 23 and Thura Aung 6 runs from 17 balls. Myanmar bowlers defended their modest total and tried to put the opponents under pressure. Paing Danu took 1 wicket for 23 runs in 1.3 overs, while Pyae Phyo Wai grabbed another and conceded 25 runs in 2 overs. However, Kuwait reached the target quite comfortably in just 3.3 overs, defeating Myanmar in impressive fashion.

Expected line-up of Myanmar

Ye Naing Tun (WK), KoKo LinThu, Khin Aye, Htet Lin Oo, Paing Danu, Htet Lin Aung, Pyae Phyo Wai, Nyein ChanSoe, Aung Ko Ko, Thura Aung, Nay Lin Tun

Maldives form

Maldives have been out of form recently, losing four of their last five matches while managing to win just once. Losing their first three matches in a row indicates a poor overall performance. Although they won their fourth match, breaking their continuous losing streak, they could not sustain the momentum and lost in their last match. The current form suggests improvements that the team needs to regain confidence and momentum in their next matches to produce more consistent results. In the Maldives vs Hong Kong match, Match 10 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Sub-regional Qualifier A, Maldives lost to Hong Kong by 9 wickets. Batting first, Maldives scored a total of 102/9 in their 20 overs with Adam Nasif Umar leading the way with 26 runs off 15 balls. Gedara Piyal Kumara added 21 runs from 25 balls and Abdulla Ibrahim Mabsar added 11 runs from 21 balls. Hong Kong kept up with ease and in just nine overs the score was 107/1. Mohamed Shiyam was the only wicket-taker among the Maldives bowlers, conceding 22 runs in his over. Nevertheless, his performance was not good enough as the team remained behind throughout and Hong Kong eventually won the match comfortably.

Expected lineup – Maldives

Mohamed Rishwan, Mohamed Azzam (WK), Gedara Piyal Kumara, Ismail Ali, Mohamed Shiyam, Yoosuf, Azyan Farhath, Adam Nasif Umar, Hassan Ibrahim, Ibrahim Rizan, Leem Shafeeq, Shunan Ali

Expert tips – Myanmar vs. Maldives

The Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur has a pitch that helps fast bowlers with pace and bounce, while not usually allowing batsmen to score high totals. The surface is also slow and can make things easier for spin bowlers. Teams will need to vary their strategy in both batting and bowling to make the most of these conditions if they want to be successful.

The current temperature in Bangi, Malaysia is 30.2 °C, the sky is cloudy, and the humidity is very high at 96%. There is no chance of rain, there is a light wind blowing at 3.02 km/h.

Maldives, who lost their last match against Sri Lanka, remain optimistic of going well throughout the tournament. The team is ready to bounce back and use their strong performance and line-up to their advantage in this match.
