Opener Wei Guo Lei top-scored for China, scoring 7. The Chinese team did not lose any wickets in the first four overs before losing 4 in the fifth over against right-arm pacer Syazrul Idrus. Idrus went on to finish the game with stunning figures of seven wickets for just eight runs in his four overs while Pavandeep Singh picked up 2 for 9 in his four overs.

In reply, Malaysia made a poor start with the bat too, and lost both of their openers Syed Aziz and Muhammad Amir for a duck. However, Sharveen Surendran and Virandeep Singh shared an unbeaten stand of 21 runs to take their team home in the fifth over.

Turkey are second on the list for scoring 21 against the Czech Republic while China is third. Lesotho and Turkey complete the top five.
