Malaysia vs Indonesia – T20 Internationals 2026 Match Report | Statz
Malaysia won by 104 runs at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, completing a 3-0 series sweep of Indonesia in the 64th match of 97 in this T20 Internationals campaign. The result cements Malaysia’s dominance in the matchup – they have now beaten Indonesia in all three meetings – and pushes them to 3-0 in the series with a net run rate that tells its own story.
First Innings – Malaysia 186/5 (20 overs)
Malaysia won the toss and elected to bat at the Bayuemas Oval, and opener Aslam Khan Malik got them off to a brisk start before falling caught for 12 off 7 balls (SR 171) with the score at 21/1 in over 2.4. The early wicket did nothing to slow the innings.
Muhammad Haziq Aiman picked up where Aslam left off, driving the score to 88 before he was caught out for 45 off 30 (SR 150, 3 fours, 3 sixes) in over 9.2 – a solid platform-setting knock. With the score at 88/2, Muhammad Amir Azim and Virandeep Singh continued to rotate the strike, but Virandeep fell caught for 10 off 13 (SR 77) at 105/3 in over 12.4 – a frustrating cameo given the resources available.
Amir Azim was the top scorer with 46 off 33 (SR 139, 2 fours, 3 sixes), run out for 119/4 in over 14.4. His dismissal brought Syed Aziz to the crease, who lit up the death overs. Aziz smashed 36 off 19 (SR 189, 2 fours, 3 sixes) before being caught at 167/5 in over 18.1. Ahmed Aqeel Wahid (20* off 14) and Sharvin Muniandy (10* off 5) saw out the innings in style, taking Malaysia to 186/5.
For Indonesia, Kadek Gamantika was the standout with 1/22 in 4 overs (Econ 5.50) – tight by the standards of an otherwise expensive attack. Ferdinando Banunaek (1/35, Econ 8.75) and Danilson Hawoe (1/37, Econ 9.25) gave too much away, while Anjar Tadarus conceded 27 from just 2 overs at 13.50.
Second Innings – Indonesia 82/6 (20 overs)
Chasing 187, Indonesia never got close. Gede Arta was clean bowled for 8 off 19 at 17/1 in over 5.2, and from there the innings unravelled rapidly. Agush Priandana was caught for 3 off 16 (SR 19) at 19/2 in over 6.3, then Kavin Chaddha was LBW for 2 off 6 at 21/3 in over 7.1. One ball later Dharma Kesuma was caught for 2 at 24/4 in over 7.4, and Danilson Hawoe followed for a duck at 24/5 in over 7.5. Five wickets down for 24 inside 8 overs – the match was over as a contest.
Kadek Gamantika provided the only real resistance, making 15 off 25 before being caught at 60/6 in over 16.2. Sampath Kharvi (25* off 32) and Ketut Edi Guna Artawan (7* off 17) batted out the innings but could only reach 82/6 – a 104-run defeat.
For Malaysia, Pavandeep Singh was simply unplayable: 4/13 in 4 overs (Econ 3.25). Rahim Khan chipped in with 1/12 in 4 overs (Econ 3.00), while Muhammad Azri Azhar took 1/7 in 2 overs (Econ 3.50). Syed Aziz bowled 3 tidy overs for just 6 runs at an economy of 2.00.

The wicket that cracked the chase open was Gede Arta bowled for 8 in over 5.2 at 17/1 – the score that triggered the collapse. What followed was relentless: four more wickets in 15 balls. Once Pavandeep Singh found his rhythm, there was no way back.
Match Context
This was the 64th match of 97 in the T20 Internationals 2026 calendar. Malaysia sit 25th in the ICC T20I rankings (rating 124) and have now swept the home series 3-0 against Indonesia. Indonesia have no ICC T20I ranking data available on Statz – they remain a developing cricket nation, and this series result underlines the gap in standards.
For Malaysia, three wins on the bounce is encouraging form ahead of further qualifying action. The batting depth and Pavandeep Singh’s bowling form are genuine positives. Indonesia will need significant improvement across all departments if they are to challenge ranked opposition.
