Kuala Lumpur: The second match of the Malaysia Quadrangular T20I 2025 will be played between Thailand (TL) and Saudi Arabia (SAU) at 11:30 AM IST today (April 24) at Bayumas Oval. The TL vs SAU match is crucial to gain an early lead in the tournament. Thailand are full of enthusiasm with players like Austin Lazarus, Xandre Coetzee and Narawit Nuntarach, while Saudi Arabia will put up a strong challenge led by Abdul Wahid and Mohammad Juber. Cricket expert Ramesh Mehta said, “It will be a close contest, as both teams will want to showcase their strengths.”

The Bayumas Oval pitch is balanced, which favors fast bowlers, and the average first innings score is 130 runs. Despite the possibility of light rain, batting should be easy in the second innings in temperatures of 29 degrees Celsius, where 56% of teams achieve the target. Thailand’s Nophon Senamontri and Saudi Arabia’s Usman Najib are the top choices for Dream11 teams. “It would be wise to pick Lazarus as the captain and Najib as the vice-captain,” suggested fantasy expert Suraj Verma. However, it is better to avoid players like Ryan Khan and Chaloemwong Chatpaisan, as their recent performances have been weak.

The TL vs SAU encounter will see the experience of Thailand clash with the youthful energy of Saudi Arabia. Both teams are desperate for their first win in the tournament, giving fans hope for exciting cricket. It may be beneficial for Dream11 players to pick a balanced combination (1-3-3-4) and focus on budget options like Abdul Wahid. This match will decide the direction of Malaysia T20I.
