2019 Malaysia Cricket World Cup Challenge League A Explained
The 2019 Malaysia Cricket World Cup Challenge League A was the inaugural edition of Group A of the 2019–2022 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League, a cricket tournament which formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[1] [2] In July 2019, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the Malaysia Cricket Association would host the tournament.[3] The series took place between 16 and 26 September 2019,[4] with all the matches having List A status.[5] [6]
On the penultimate day of the tournament, Vanuatu were bowled out for 65 runs against Malaysia.[7] In reply, Vanuatu managed to dismiss Malaysia for 52 runs, recording the lowest team total defended by any side in a List A cricket match.[8]
Canada won the series, after finishing ahead of Singapore on net run rate, with both teams level on points.[9]

Prior to the series, Inam-ul-Haq and Tamoor Sajjad were ruled out of Qatar's squad due to reasons described as "personal" by organizers.[16]
