Bahrain triumphs in low-scoring duel against Malaysia
Bahrain secured a 35-run victory over Malaysia in a tightly contested match at Bayuemas Oval, demonstrating resilience and disciplined performance in the Malaysia T20I Tri-Series. Sohail Ahmed's pivotal half-century earned him the Player of the Match award. Malaysia, after winning the toss, elected to bowl, aiming to exploit the morning conditions. Bahrain's innings began with early setbacks, losing crucial wickets to Pavandeep Singh. However, Sohail Ahmed anchored the innings, scoring a vital 54 off 46 balls, including 1 four and 3 sixes. Junaid Aziz provided valuable support with 36 runs, but Bahrain's lower order struggled against Malaysia's bowlers. Syed Aziz was the standout bowler for Malaysia, claiming 3 wickets for 26 runs. Bahrain managed to post a challenging total of 126/9 in their 20 overs on a pitch that proved difficult for batting. Malaysia's chase faltered from the outset, losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite a brief resistance from Vijay Unni Suresh, who scored 28 runs, the Malaysian batting lineup crumbled under pressure. Sharvin Muniyandy contributed 19 runs, but the remaining batsmen failed to make significant contributions. Bahrain's bowlers were exceptional, with Ali Dawood leading the charge, taking 3 wickets for just 13 runs. Imran Javed Anwar and Abdul Majid Abbasi also bowled economically, picking up 2 wickets each. Malaysia was bowled out for 91 runs in 18.4 overs, falling significantly short of the target. Sohail Ahmed's crucial innings and Bahrain's disciplined bowling were the highlights of the match, securing a well-deserved victory. Malaysia will need to address their batting inconsistencies to bounce back in the series, facing a difficult challenge after three consecutive losses. The Malaysia T20I Tri-Series continues to deliver thrilling matches.

Bahrain Storm to Eight-Wicket Win Over Hong Kong in T20 Tri-Series
A Masterclass in Kuala Lumpur Bahrain turned on the style to clinch an eight-wicket victory against Hong Kong in the Malaysia T20I Tri-Series 2025, wrapping things up yesterday at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur. The match kicked off at 06:00 local time on Tuesday, 11 March, and what followed was a display of sheer dominance as Bahrain chased down Hong Kong's 118, reaching 121 for 2 in just 14.2 overs. It's back-to-back wins for Bahrain after their stunning start on Monday vs Malaysia. Asif Ali was also explosive there with his half-century (54) helping Bahrain to win by six wickets in what was the series opener. Next, Bahrain will face Malaysia again tomorrow and then Hong Kong on the 14th, with all matches being played at Bayuemas Oval. They're looking every bit the team to beat in this three-team showdown. Asif Ali Steals the Show Step forward Asif Ali, the man of the moment, who walked away with Player of the Match honours after a dazzling 76 off 48 balls that sealed the deal for Bahrain. Paired with Fiaz Ahmed's unbeaten 37, it was a chase that never looked in doubt. But Ali's impact didn't stop there—his two wickets for just one run earlier in the day set the tone, backed up by Rizwan Butt's fine 3 for 29, which kept Hong Kong to a shaky 118 for 8. Zeeshan Ali's battling 50 gave Hong Kong something to cling to, but it wasn't enough to stem the Bahrain tide.
