Pre-Match Analysis:

This was not the desired start for Malaysia Women, who were humbled by 9 wickets in the rain-affected match against Group B favorites UAE Women on Friday. The game was reduced to 7 overs per side, where Malaysia could only muster 30 for 8. Their bowlers struggled against UAE batters and ultimately lost the match with 15 balls remaining.

Batting has been their biggest shortcoming, and they need to demonstrate character to make an impact in the tournament moving forward.

Qatar, with their vulnerable batting line-up, was bowled out for a meager 29 in 11.1 overs. Barring wicket-keeper Rizpha Bano Emmanuel (20), no other batter reached double digits, with their innings seeing 8 ducks.

Both teams experienced an extremely poor performance with the bat in their respective openers, showing little intent. Monday’s match presents them with a good opportunity to rectify their mistakes.
