Bangladesh Women vs Malaysia Women Prediction: Bangladesh has won all games against Malaysia

Bangladesh and Malaysia lock horns in Match 11 of Asia Cup Women at the venue of Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka on 24 July 2024. Bangladesh has won all three games against Malaysia in cricketing history. Who will win this game of cricket?

Their opening match saw the Bangladeshi women's cricket team confidently chase down the target of 100 set by Thailand. In the next match, though, they found things a lot more challenging against a strong Sri Lankan team. The fall of three wickets inside the first 10 balls meant the top order crumbled at the very beginning, making captain Nigar Sultana's task very difficult to hold on and settle the innings. Despite all the efforts, any major partnership was not formed, and Bangladesh only posted a score of 111 in the entire 20 overs. A score like this turns out to be so less against a powerful team like Sri Lanka who won the match in the 18th over itself. Their batting lineup looked very vulnerable; it had shown no improvement at all from the 0-5 defeat they had taken at the hands of the Indian women's team in May, and their inability to forge partnerships remained a big concern. The bowling performance has been built around the tight overs bowled by Nahida Akter, who went for just 26 runs in 8 overs with 3 wickets to her name. Rabeya Khan has been the other key performer, returning figures of 4/30 in her 7 overs of leg break bowling.

The Malaysian women's cricket team participated in the game played at Dambulla recently against the hosts Sri Lanka.

While batting, the home team scored 184 runs in their 20 overs, leaving a stiff target in front of Malaysia. The chase of the Malaysian team to a total of 185 to win looked far from achievable with the falling of wickets and finally being bowled out to a low score of 40. This 144-run loss was a matter of boundaries between the skills and experience of a fledgling Malaysian team and the more experienced Sri Lankan team. Though they didn't win, the Malaysian team did well in their first game against Thailand after a poor start.

The key players from Malaysia's batting include Winifred Duraisingam, Wan Julia, and Elsa Hunter. Much will depend on these players' performances in the upcoming matches, especially against the Bangladesh bowlers. Duraisingam, known for her right-arm medium pace, will also prove crucial in leading the bowling attack after already having collected 3 wickets in 2 matches. She will be supported by Mahirah Izzati Ismail and Suabika Manivannan, who have taken 4 and 2 wickets respectively. Their aggressive bowling is going to be important in containing the runs of Bangladeshi batters. The Malaysian team will have to use all their skill and team effort to improve their performance in the series.

On paper, the Bangladesh team certainly looks much stronger than Malaysia. Provided that the green team makes proper use of their skills, the Malaysian women's team might be at the receiving end of a massive defeat. The prediction favours the Bangladesh women to win this contest.
