Malaysia will bank on the likes of Syed Aziz and Virandeep Singh at the top along with Ariff Jamaludeen in the middle order when it comes to batting. Syed Aziz is the leading run-scorer for the team in the twenty-over format and it will be crucial that this left-handed opening batsman provides a good start. Jamaludeen batted well in the first T20I and it will be mainly up to him ensure a positive finish to the innings.
In terms of bowling, Malaysia will back their new-ball bowlers Sharvin Muniandy and Pavandeep Singh to hurt Vanuatu early on with a few strikes in the powerplay. The latter took a couple of wickets in the series opener and the left-arm spinner will be expected to deliver a similar performance here. Nazril Rahman has been impressive with the ball for Malaysia and he too is likely to cause some trouble for the opposition.

Vanuatu's batting is going to depend mainly on their openers Joshua Rasu and Andrew Mansale. The former became the leading run-getter for the team in T20Is in the first game of the series. He smashed a 54-ball 74 in that game and will be eyeing another big knock. Clement Tommy and Nalin Nipiko are the others in this line-up with the capability to make healthy contributions with the bat.
Nipiko is a key man for Vanuatu in both their batting and bowling departments. The all-rounder is the team's second-best batsman in the format in addition to being their highest wicket-taker. He claimed a four-fer in the first T20I and the team will find itself in a strong position if he has a good outing on Wednesday. Patrick Matautaava and Jelany Chilia are the other threats in Vanuatu's bowling attack and the duo will look to rattle Malaysia's top order early on.

Malaysia are struggling to maintain consistency in their performances in the shortest format of the game. Though their bowling looks alright, they will have to make improvements in their batting in order to have results go their way. They do have the home advantage in their favor but they will have to up their game to beat the in-form Vanuatu. The visitors have looked the better side so far in this series and their bowling seems slightly superior to that of the home team. Vanuatu certainly have the upper hand going into this game and we expect them to come out on top again.
Final Verdict: Back Vanuatu to beat Malaysia in the third T20I.
