The hosts Qatar lock horns with the Maldives in the fourth match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia A Qualifiers. West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar will host this encounter.

Qatar didn’t have the best of starts to the competition. They suffered a heavy loss against Bahrain in their opening game and will be looking to bounce back in their next match.

After being asked to bat first by Bahrain, the hosts struggled as they could only manage to score 133 after losing five wickets. The bowlers then failed to make breakthroughs as Bahrain chased down the total with eight wickets in hand in the 14th over. The hosts will be hoping for a much-improved performance in their next fixture.

The Maldives too suffered a loss in their opening game. Saudi Arabia were too good for the Maldives as they completed a comprehensive win the other day. The Maldives need to be at their best to bounce back in the competition.

Batting first, the Maldives’ batters put up a poor show with the bat as they only managed to score 98 in their 20 overs. They lost nine wickets as none of the batters could adapt to the conditions. It was a cakewalk for Saudi Arabia as they chased down the total in the 16th over, winning the game by seven wickets.
