Saudi Arabia made 174/7 in 20 overs against Singapore on October 8 at the YSD-UKM Cricket Oval in Bangi, Malaysia, setting a 175-run target. The ICC match centre confirms this completed first innings in Match 2 of the 2026 Men’s T 20 World Cup Asia Sub Regional Qualifier B. This report covers the first innings; the chase was still live when checked, so it does not declare a winner.
The match is a sub-regional qualifier, not a World Cup final. For English-reading fans in India searching the teams’ names, the immediate questions are the score, the target and where to follow the chase. A completed batting innings is a firmer reference than an undated search snippet whose live score may already have changed.
Waheed’s 54 gave Saudi Arabia its largest contribution
Abdul Waheed scored 54 from 32 balls, including eight fours and one six. Hisham Shaikh contributed 35 from 26 and Manan Ali 30 from 24. The ICC scorecard lists these innings separately from extras, so the team total should not be read as one player’s score or a target for Saudi Arabia to chase.
Singapore’s Daksh Tyagi took 3/38 from four overs, while Akshay Puri returned 1/18 from four. Saudi Arabia’s innings closed at 174 despite losing seven wickets. The two bowling figures show different contributions: Tyagi took more wickets, while Puri conceded fewer runs over the same number of overs. Neither figure alone determines who wins the match.
A 175 target is different from a 174 tie score
For an unchanged 20-over chase,175 is one more than Saudi Arabia’s 174. Dividing 175 by 20 gives an initial required rate of 8.75 runs per over; that is an arithmetic starting point, not Singapore’s current live required rate. As balls are used and runs are scored, the live requirement changes.
The useful scoreboard fields are Singapore’s runs and wickets, completed overs, runs still required and balls remaining. In cricket, an over display such as 5.3 means five complete overs and three balls, rather than 5.3 decimal overs. Reading the notation correctly prevents a misleading calculation of the remaining chase.
Use the ICC match centre for live score and viewing links
Open the official Saudi Arabia–Singapore match page and select SCORECARD for the innings breakdown or COMMENTARY for ball-by-ball updates. Its WATCH LIVE link leads to the ICC video page for this match. In this check that route required ICC sign-in; a publicly visible link does not by itself establish free access or availability for an account located in India.
The article therefore provides an official score route without promising unverified free streaming, an Indian subscription price or a final result. Once the match is completed, the confirmed winner and margin belong in this same match guide. A win in one qualifier match should also not be described as automatic World Cup qualification without the applicable competition standings and progression rules.
