Pavandeep Singh is an experienced bowler, and he must pick wickets along with Vijay Unni in the early overs. Khizar Hayat has been the pick of the bowlers in the last few months, and he will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Ahmed Aqeel and Syed Aziz. The team expects a good show in the supporting role from Virandeep Singh and Muhammad Wafiq.

MAL vs BHR Pitch Report
Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur, has short boundaries around the square region, making run-scoring easy for batsmen. The slowness on the wicket offers a lot to the spinners, and fast bowlers have also done well under overcast conditions.
Toss: To Bowl
The batting conditions haven’t been easy in the morning, and bowlers have enjoyed bowling with the new ball. Teams have comfortably chased targets at this venue in the past. Hence, we expect the side winning the toss to bowl first.
