Mongolia get bundled out for the joint-lowest T20I score in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A 2024

In the 14th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A 2024, Mongolia were asked to bat first. What followed was a dream bowling performance from Singapore, as Mongolia got bundled out for just 10 in as many overs, the joint-lowest score in T20Is.

The top-score in the Mongolian scorecard was two. Harsha Bharadwaj blew away the Mongolian batting line-up, returning with astonishing figures of 6/3 in his four overs, which included two maidens.

Manpreet Singh departed on a golden duck on the first ball of the chase but William Simpson (6*) and Raoul Sharma (7*) remained unbeaten to take Singapore across the line in just five balls with nine wickets in hand.

Kuwait opted to bowl first in the 13th match and an inspired bowling performance saw them restrict Malaysia to 149/7. Virandeep Singh top-scored with 43 for the hosts. Yasin Patel bowled beautifully and picked up three wickets for Kuwait.

In reply, Clinto Anto (34), Meet Bhavsar (39*) and Usman Patel (57*) contributed as Kuwait chased down the total in just 15.2 overs with eight wickets in hand. The Malaysian bowlers tried but failed to defend the total and suffered their first loss of the competition.

The 15th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A 2024 was also a low-scoring one. Myanmar elected to bat first but the decision backfired as they got knocked over on 51 in 17 overs by Maldives. Only Htet Lin Oo (14) managed to get to double digits.

It was a collective effort from Maldives as each of their five bowlers entered the wickets column. Umar Adam picked up three scalps and gave away only 11 runs in his four overs.

Chasing a modest total, Umar Adam (20) and Ismail Ali (23*) stepped up and helped their side chase down the total in 5.3 overs. With this nine-wicket win, Maldives registered their first win of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A 2024.
