Malaysia have beaten Singapore in their last four matches against each other and hence, the Malaysian men's cricket team will start as the favourites against Singapore, who have just won three of their last 20 T20 international matches.

In the group stage, there are nine teams -- The Maldives, Mongolia and Nepal (Group A); Cambodia, Hong Kong and Japan (Group B); Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand (Group C). The three group winners will progress to the knockouts, where they will be joined by the heavyweights -- India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Cricket became a part of the Asiad programme in 2010, in the Guangzhou Games, more than a decade after it last featured in a major multi-sport event at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. In Guangzhou, Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan to claim the gold medal, while Pakistan got the better of Sri Lanka in the bronze play-off. Four years later, Sri Lanka triumphed against Afghanistan in the Incheon gold medal match, while Bangladesh beat Hong Kong to take home bronze.
