MAL vs BUL 5th T20I Continental Cup Match Preview:
On Friday, Malta will face Bulgaria in the 5th T20I Match of Continental Cup at Moara Vlasiei Cricket Ground, Ilfov County, Bucharest.
Both sides head into this fixture after starting the ongoing edition of the Continental Cup on a disappointing note. Bulgaria lost to Luxembourg by 62 runs on Thursday, they failed to chase 187 and were bundled out for 125 runs in the allotted 20 overs.
Malta had a rough start as well, batting first they could only manage a paltry score of 128/9 against Luxembourg on Thursday. While they got wickets at regular intervals, Tony Whiteman’s superb 57 (not-out) robbed them of a victory. Luxembourg went on to win the match by four wickets.
Both teams are equally balanced and skilled, however, Malta have a strong bowling unit and Bulgaria’s batting line-up may not find the going easy against them.
