Cricket Prediction | PHI vs SKOR | Indonesia Tri-Nation T20I Series 2025 | 8th Match | July 10 – Can SKOR Upset the Odds?

PHI vs SKOR Match Analysis

The 8th match of the Indonesia T20 Tri-Nation Series will see the Philippines locking horns with South Korea at Bali on July 10, 2025. The match is scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM local time, and both teams are aiming to end their losing streaks with a spirited comeback.

The Philippines have shown glimpses of potential with both bat and ball, but inconsistency has been their biggest hurdle. With players like Henry Tyler and Kepler Lukies providing leadership and occasional fireworks, the team has the right blend of youth and experience.

South Korea, led by Kim Daeyeon, is still finding its rhythm in the T20 format. Despite a few promising individual performances, the team has struggled to stitch together match-winning partnerships. 

Philippines vs South Korea Team Preview & Squads

Philippines

Henry Tyler, a wicketkeeper-batsman, leads the PHI with composure and determination. Known for his leadership behind the stumps and cool-headedness during tense moments, he remains one of the key assets in the lineup. 

The Philippines rely on a top-heavy batting lineup, with Arashdeep Samra and Amanpreet Sirah expected to provide solid starts. Miggy Podosky and Andrew Donovan add stability in the middle, while Tyler often acts as the glue. 

Kepler Lukies and Jonathon Tuffin spearhead the bowling department with disciplined line and length. Liam Myott and Rhys Burinaga add pace variety, while Nivek Tanner contributes as a useful part-timer. 

In their last outing against Indonesia on July 7, 2025, the Philippines were outclassed by 45 runs. Chasing a target of 161, they were bowled out for 115 in 19 overs despite a promising start. The bowlers did well to restrict Indonesia to 160/5 on a decent surface, but the batting lineup faltered under scoreboard pressure. Middle-order consistency is still an area in need of attention.

South Korea

Kim Daeyeon leads SKOR with an all-round mindset and a tactical approach. While his performances have been steady, his challenge remains in getting the best out of his relatively inexperienced squad. Daeyeon’s presence in the middle overs is crucial both as a leader and contributor.

The batting lineup has relied on the likes of Daham Madampage and Hyeon Parsons to lay the foundations. Alex Parsons and Nishat Nazmussakib bring flair, but the team has yet to bat their full quota of overs consistently. The lack of depth in the lower order often exposes their vulnerability when chasing stiff targets.

Sameera Maduranga and Saurabh Kumar are the key strike bowlers, showing glimpses of potential with the new ball. Bilal Ahmad Mir and Kuldeep Gurjar offer spin options, but control in the death overs remains a concern. South Korea’s bowlers need more discipline under pressure situations.

SKOR suffered a 52-run defeat at the hands of Indonesia in their previous match on July 8, 2025. After conceding 168 while bowling first, their chase crumbled to 116 all out in just 17.1 overs. Despite good spells from Sameera and Bilal, the lack of support from other bowlers hurt their cause. The batting unit once again collapsed under scoreboard pressure.

Udayana Cricket Ground

The Bali surface continues to favor batters early on, with consistent bounce and decent carry. However, as the game progresses, spinners begin to come into play with slow turns and grip. A score of 150+ remains competitive on this wicket.

The weather in Bali on match day is expected to be partly cloudy with a slim chance of showers. Temperatures will hover around 29°C with moderate humidity, which could slightly aid swing bowling early in the day. No major interruptions are expected during play.

Historically, the Bali pitch has seen first-innings scores between 145 and 170 in the ongoing series. The highest score batting first so far is 168 by Indonesia, while the lowest defending total is 115. Evening games have produced mixed fortunes for chasing teams due to the impact of dew.
