The only standout was Saumani Tiai, who contributed 37 runs and picked up 2 wickets. Noah Mead also chipped in with 2 wickets, but the batting unit failed to put up any fight.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, put up a better fight against Malaysia. Thanks to a sensational 101-run knock from Zeeshan Ali, they reached 151/9 in their 20 overs. However, they couldn’t defend the total as Malaysia chased it down comfortably in 18.3 overs.
