Bahrain lock horns with the Maldives in the sixth match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia A Qualifiers on Wednesday. The West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar will host this exciting clash.
After getting off to a winning start, Bahrain lost their following game against Kuwait. After being asked to bat first, the Bahrain batters failed miserably as they could only put up 124 on the board, for the loss of eight wickets. It was a cakewalk for Kuwait as they chased down the total in the 12th over, winning the game by six wickets. Bahrain needs to be at its best in its next clash against the Maldives.
The Maldives, meanwhile, have lost both their games so far and need something dramatic to register their first win of the competition.
In their game against Maldives, Qatar posted 154 on the board, after being asked to bat first. It was a poor show from the Maldives batters as they were bundled out for 56 in response. Only a single batter managed to get into double figures for them and they need to play out of their skin in their next fixture against Bahrain.
