His Nepal teammate Sagar Pun did not bowl or bat. Penang, who won the toss and elected to bat first, presented a target of 63 runs losing all its wickets. In reply, Kuala Lampur chased the target in 11.4 overs losing four wickets. The first three batsmen went out for ducks, along with Vishvaruben Kumar, Muhammad Amir and Yasir Nazir.


Wicket-keeper batsman Vealeshwaran Athiappan scored the highest 31 runs for the losing side. Neville Liyanage was the pick of the Kuala Lampur bowlers as he pocketed four wickets, while Muhammad Hafiz and Pavandeep Singh picked up three and two wickets respectively.
