Argentina vs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Argentina-c2841 by 47 runs (D/L method) at the Indian Association Ground.
Opting to bat first, the Malaysian side began briskly, courtesy the openers, who added a fifty-run stand inside 9 overs. The right-hander, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Shafiq-Sharif-c77311, further went onto score an imposing 61 despite the rest of the batting order, apart from Hiran Ralalage
(31), failed to contribute notably.
Malaysians folded their innings on 210 – their total further aided by the erect bowling performance by the Argentine bowlers, who conceded 39 extras.
Following a rain interruption, the game was reduced to 29 overs with Argentina being set a target of 162. However, their run chase was disrupted early on by three unfortunate run-outs, which reduced them to 63 for 4. From that point onward, the team was
never in the contest and eventually ended up on well short - 114 for 7.

Shafiq Sharif was named as Player of the match for his outstanding batting.
