Led by a blistering 140 from captain Navneet Dhaliwal, Canada thrashed hosts Malaysia by a whopping 206 runs at Kuala Lumpur. Dhaliwal opened the innings alongside Rodrigo Thomas and the duo laid a solid platform with a 140-run stand before Thomas was dismissed for 62. But Dhaliwal kept firing from one end, hammering 8 fours and 13 sixes in a 94-ball knock. Support from the middle-order came from Nitish Kumar - who hit 60 off 50 deliveries - and Ravinderpal Singh, whose aggression meant he scored 94 off just 46 balls. As a result, Canada planted 408 in 50 overs but Malaysia folded for less than half that score courtesy of Kumar's off-breaks. He kept finding the breakthrough at regular intervals as captain Ahmed Faiz top-scored for Malaysia with 41 in a total of merely 202. The win gave Canada full points for their second match in a row, as Malaysia remain stuck at fourth on the table.
