Bangladesh will face Malaysia in 4th quarterfinal of Asian Games 2026 [Source: X]Bangladesh will cross swords against Malaysia in the fourth quarterfinal of the Asian Games men's T20 competition 2026. The first two quarter-finals, Pakistan vs Hong Kong and India vs Afghanistan, were washed out due to inclement weather conditions. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are gearing up to take on Malaysia in their first game of the Asian Games 2026. Led by Litton Das, Bangladesh have a robust squad comprising experienced campaigners like Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Hasan Mahmud and Mustafizur Rahman. On the other hand, Malaysia defeated Hong Kong in their first group-stage match before their subsequent encounter was called off due to rain. Virandeep Singh, who became the first batter from an associate nation to complete 3500 runs in T20Is, will play a significant role for the Malaysian side along with Pavandeep Singh, Muhammad Amir Azim Shukor and Muhamad Syahadat Ramli. Ahead of the clash, here's the Bangladesh predicted playing XI vs Malaysia for the fourth quarterfinal of the Asian Games 2026. Openers and top order: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain EmonThe dynamic duo of Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan is expected to open the batting for Bangladesh. Saif and Tanzid have formed the second most successful opening pair for Bangladesh, accumulating 426 runs, including two fifty-plus partnerships, at an average of 30.42. Tanzid Hasan is Bangladesh's most successful T20I batter since his debut with 1331 runs at a strike rate of 127.24.

In 38 innings, Emon has scored 712 runs, including a hundred and three fifties. Middle order and allrounders: Litton Das (C/WK), Towhid Hridoy, Yasir Ali, Mahedi HasanCaptain Litton Das is Bangladesh's highest run-scorer in T20Is, having amassed 2702 runs with the help of 26 fifties. He is an integral member of the middle order in the Bangladesh predicted playing XI vs Malaysia for the Asian Games 2026 quarterfinal. Litton will be accompanied by Towhid Hridoy, who has 1409 runs in 59 T20I innings, striking at 125.9. Destructive batter Yasir Ali has a strike rate of 143.6 and makes it into the Bangladesh predicted playing XI vs Malaysia as the first-choice finisher. Mahedi Hasan is expected to play the all-rounder's role in the Bangladesh predicted playing XI vs Malaysia. Besides scalping 75 wickets with his right-arm off-spin, Mahedi has scored 486 runs in T20Is. Bowlers: Rishad Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful IslamRishad Hossain is one of Bangladesh's biggest match-winners. He is their second most successful spinner in T20Is with 80 wickets in 60 innings. The spin-friendly conditions at the Korogi Sports Park make Rishad Hossain a genuine threat to the Malaysian batting lineup. Hasan Mahmud has 28 T20I scalps in 26 matches and is likely to spearhead Bangladesh's pace attack. Shoriful Islam, who has 69 T20I wickets and recently dismantled Australia in the Mackay Test, enters the Bangladesh predicted playing XI vs Malaysia as Hasan Mahmud's new-ball bowling partner. Mustafizur Rahman can outfox the Malaysian batters with his wily variations and cutters. The left-arm spinner has the most T20I wickets for his team (160) and makes it into the Bangladesh predicted playing XI vs Malaysia as the third seamer.
