Malaysia’s Asia Cup

The great thing about this team is that while they are often on the wrong side of the ledger in these tournaments they never give up.

We have to go back to 2018 for the most recent edition of the Asia Cup, stalled and postponed by the global pandemic.

The final two places on offer for the 2023 T20 World Cup in South Africa will be decided over the next week between eight competing teams.

It was a dream preparation for the Commonwealth Games, facing off against the host nation in a series prior, yet it soon became a nightmare.

So often the fortunes of the Sri Lanka team rise and fall depending on the performance of their skipper and this tournament was no different.

For a team that only possessed half a dozen internationally recognised cricketers, Barbados performed well above expectations.

Pakistan’s Commonwealth Games performance was a case of more of the same, poor starts with the batting combined with slow run rates.

The home team always gets an extra tick as sentimental favourite, but can England use that vibe and turn it into gold?

The Aussies have come for gold. That is their stated mission and they are as focused for this event as they were for the World Cup.

The entire nation of India is in on this. Players, support staff, BCCI, fans. Every one of them is part of a plot to win gold at Birmingham.
