TEAMS PREVIEW

Pahang Preview

Pahang will make their maiden appearance in the men's competition of the MCA Inter-state T20 Championship, while their women's team has already played in the last two seasons of the state competitions.

They have a relatively young squad, with most of the players having recently been part of the U-19 and U-16 competitions. Aliman Ahmed is one of the team's most experienced players, having scored 358 runs and taken 15 wickets in 21 T20 career matches. MD Abdul Sukoor is another key all-rounder for the Pahang side, with his left-arm spin. He has taken 10 wickets in his T20 career.

In the bowling department, MD Irfan Ashri, the left-arm pacer, will lead the attack. He has taken 28 wickets at an average of 11.19 and an economy of under 5. If he can perform well with the ball, Pahang will have a strong chance of winning this contest.

Pahang Predicted Playing XI:

Haziq Daniel Muda, Shafiq Abdul Rahman, Afdza Razali, Muhammad Khairullah, Muhammad Irfan Ashri, Aliman Ahmed, MD Abdul Sukoor, Hakim Mahadi, Hafiq Nasyitun Hamdan, Iezzat Daniel Fiqry, Amdam Wiliyoh

Selangor Preview

Selangor began their 2025 MCA Inter-State Campaign with a dominant six-wicket win over Johor Cricket in the first match of the season. Bowling first, Selangor managed to restrict the Johor team to 168/5 in 20 overs.

Jawad Ali was the top bowler for the Selangor team, finishing with figures of 2/29. He was a little on the expensive side, but Prashanth Maduhkar was equally impressive with the ball, also taking two wickets and conceding 29 runs.

Chasing down the target, Selangor lost the wicket of Akram Malek early in the innings, but Saifullah Malik (26 runs) and Hasnain Ahmed (85* runs in 52 balls) made key contributions. In the end, Wan Azam finished off the match, scoring 25 runs in 20 balls.

Vijay Unni (C), Saifullah Malik, Hasnain Ahmed, N Santhakumaran, Mohamed Arief, D Sehar, Wan Azam, Md Aras Azmi, Md Akram Malek, Prashanth Madhukar, Jawad Ali

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

On Saturday at Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur is expected to have partly cloudy skies with a high of 33°C and a low of 26°C. There is a 20% chance of precipitation and winds will be at 11 km/h.

PHG vs SEL Pitch Report

The pitch at Bayuemas Oval offers a balanced track that favors both batsmen and bowlers. However, the last two T20 matches played at this venue have been high-scoring, with all four innings exceeding 165 runs. We predict another good batting track for this fixture, and a score around 170 could be par for the team batting first.

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first won three of the last five T20 matches played at the Bayuemas Oval and the conditions are ideal for the teams batting first early on in the morning and we predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
