Tue Mar 11 04:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Bahrain Set to Face Hong Kong in Malaysia Tri-Nation T20I Series

**Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia** – Bahrain, currently leading the Malaysia Tri-Nation T20I Series after a convincing victory over Malaysia, will face Hong Kong in their next match at the Bayuemas Oval. Bahrain’s victory saw Asif Ali scoring 54 runs and Imran Javed taking 3 wickets. Their win followed Malaysia’s weak batting performance, with only Virandeep Singh (65 runs) offering significant resistance against Bahrain’s bowling attack.

Hong Kong, ranked 23rd in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings, enters the match with a less impressive recent record, having won only one of their last four matches. However, they boast strong players like Babar Hayat and Ehsan Khan, who are expected to be key contributors with the bat and ball respectively. Pre-match predictions favor Hong Kong to win the toss, with Babar Hayat (Hong Kong) and Sohail Ahmed (Bahrain) tipped as top batters, Ehsan Khan (Hong Kong) and Ali Dawood (Bahrain) as top bowlers, and Babar Hayat and Sohail Ahmed as the players likely to hit the most sixes. Babar Hayat is also predicted to be the Player of the Match. Expected team scores are 155+ for Hong Kong and 140+ for Bahrain if batting first. The match will be live-streamed, with geo-restrictions applying. Note that predictions may change closer to match time.
