Indonesia vs Malaysia - 5th May, 2026- Malaysia Dominate Indonesia in Low-Scoring 4th T20I Clash !

Indonesia Struggle Against Malaysia’s Bowling Attack

After being put into bat, Indonesia found it extremely difficult to build partnerships as Malaysia’s disciplined bowling attack kept the pressure on from the very beginning.
Only Kadek Gamantika showed resistance with a patient unbeaten 32 off 36 balls, hitting two boundaries. Ketut Artawan added 10 runs, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make an impact as wickets kept falling at regular intervals.
Malaysia’s bowlers were exceptional throughout the innings, especially Pavandeep Singh, who produced a sensational spell of 4 wickets for just 3 runs in his 4 overs. His accuracy and control completely dismantled Indonesia’s middle order.
Rahim Khan also impressed with 3 wickets, while Syed Aziz Mubarak and Virandeep Singh chipped in with important breakthroughs. Indonesia eventually crawled to only 73/9 in their 20 overs — one of their lowest totals in recent T20 matches.
Malaysia Chase the Target Comfortably
Chasing a modest target of 74, Malaysia started aggressively with Virandeep Singh smashing 18 runs from just 9 balls, including two fours and a six. Although Indonesia managed to pick up a few wickets during the chase, the target was never enough to seriously challenge the hosts.
Muhamad Syahadat played a calm unbeaten knock of 33 off 40 balls to guide Malaysia home safely. Malaysia reached 74/5 in 15.1 overs and secured an easy victory.
For Indonesia, Danilson Hawoe took 2 wickets, while Ferdinando Banunaek, Kadek Gamantika, and Gede Arta claimed one wicket each.
