TEAMS PREVIEW
Kuwait Preview
Kuwait have had a terrific run in the Malaysia T20I Tri-Nations Cup. They won three of their four matches and topped the table with 6 points in their kitty.
Meet Bhavsar has been the team’s standout batter this series, smashing 108 runs in 4 innings at an average of 27 and a strike rate of 116.
Bilal Tahir follows him closely with 86 runs in 4 innings at an average of 28.66 and a strike rate of 153.
Ravija Sandaruwan (68 runs in 4 innings at 123) is another one worth backing.
Kuwait’s bowling has many stars, starting with Adnan Idrees, who has taken 6 wickets at an economy of just 6.13. Then there is Yasin Patel and Mohammed Aslam, who have 5 and 4 wickets each.
The bowling unit has been disciplined and doesn’t leak runs easily. This will be a major hurdle for Hong Kong.
Kuwait Predicted Playing XI:
Ravija Sandaruwan, Clinto Anto, Meet Bhavsar, Usman Patel (wk), Mohammed Aslam (c), Yasin Patel, Shiraz Khan, Bilal Tahir, Muhammad Umar, Adnan Idrees, Mohamed Shafeeq

Hong Kong Preview
Hong Kong won two matches in this series but lost both their remaining games to Kuwait. They will clearly have a score to settle.
For that to happen, captain Nizakat Khan will have to lead from the front again. He is the leading run-getter of the series, with 196 runs in 4 innings at an average of 65.33 and a strike rate of 123.27.
Babar Hayat is the second pillar of this batting unit. The middle-order batter has scored 150 runs in 4 innings at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 151.
Unfortunately, barring these two, the others have done little of note. So if Nizakat and Babar fail, Hong Kong might struggle.
As for the bowling, watch out for Yasim Murtaza and Ehsan Khan, who have both taken 10 wickets each at very good economy rates.
Hong Kong Predicted Playing XI:
Martin Coetzee, Anshuman Rath, Nizakat Khan (c), Babar Hayat, Zeeshan Ali (wk), Yasim Murtaza, Rajab Hussain, Ehsan Khan, Ateeq Iqbal, Ayush Shukla, Adil Mehmood

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Selangor Turf Club in Kuala Lumpur is a small ground with a slow pitch. Seam bowlers have been effective with their cutters, while spinners can exploit the slowness of the pitch, especially in the middle overs. The shorter boundaries make scoring runs easier for batters once they get settled. Now that so many matches have been played here, the pitch has become slower, and batting first might be the better option here, as it’s likely to get tougher to bat on later.
Kuala Lumpur is expected to have mostly cloudy skies tomorrow with showers, some of which may be heavy in the afternoon. This could potentially impact the match and lead to a shortened game.
KUW vs HKG Pitch Report
The average first innings score at the Selangor Turf Club is typically between 140 and 150 runs. In this series, the highest total posted here was 169-6 by Kuwait while chasing against Hong Kong. However, with the pitch slowing down, the team batting first should aim for a score of around 150-160 runs.
Toss: To Bat
The previous two matches of the series played at the Selangor Turf Club have both been won by the team batting first. Since this is the final, both captains might be looking to bat first and play it safe.
KUW vs HKG
Winning Prediction
Kuwait will be confident of their chances in this final after dominating Hong Kong in their two previous matches. They have a fairly settled batting unit, and their bowling attack is ideal for these conditions. Hong Kong cannot be taken lightly, and are expected to come hard. Their two main batters will pose the greatest risk to Kuwait. If they fire, they can help Hong Kong take the trophy. Their bowling attack, too is dependent on two individuals. Looking at the overall form and strengths of both sides, we are going with Kuwait as the winner of this final.
We are backing Kuwait to win this final.
