During the chase, Malaysia lost Zubaidi Zulkifle early on in the innings. After his dismissal, Syed Aziz and Sharvin Muniandy played well, scored 25 and 39 runs respectively to instill hope for a successful chase. Once Aziz fell to Nawfer, wickets started falling in regular succession and Malaysia looked far away from the target.
