MLT vs EST Team Preview & Squads

Malta

Malta has struggled to make an impact since entering T20I cricket and is still searching for a breakthrough moment. Their performances so far have been underwhelming, and given Estonia’s current dominance, it wouldn’t be surprising if Malta faced another tough outing in the upcoming clashes.

However, there are still a few bright spots for Malta to rely on. One of them is Darshit Patankar, an aggressive top-order batter who can take the game to the opposition early on. His form and ability to anchor the innings will be crucial if Malta is to put up a fight.

On the bowling front, David Marks stands out as a dependable option. Known for his smart bowling and discipline, he rarely concedes easy runs and has a knack for striking at key moments. His role will be vital in containing Estonia’s powerful batting line-up.

Estonia

Estonia boasts several match-winners in its squad, making them a formidable side. With their current form and depth in both batting and bowling, they are expected to seriously challenge Malta and dominate the contest. Heading into the T20I series, Estonia are clear favourites. Their consistent performances and strong team balance give them the upper hand, and they’ll be looking to maintain their momentum against a struggling Maltese side.

Among the key players, Ali Masood is one to watch. A composed middle-order batter, he can build and sustain an innings in the T20 format. Alongside him, Habib Khan brings great value as a bowling all-rounder, capable of picking up crucial wickets and shifting the momentum in Estonia’s favour when it matters most.
