He started with a very low score of 60, matching the course record.
Malik is 41 and has won two DP World PGTI events.
Dhruv Sheoran is one shot behind them in third place.
Rain, stronger wind and difficult hole locations made the course harder to play.
Fifty-nine golfers made the cut and will play the last two rounds.
Three holes-in-one were also recorded on the same day, a first in DP World PGTI history.
Vishesh Sharma and Amardeep Malik share the lead at 14-under 126 after 36 holes.
Sharma followed a course-record 60 with a four-under 66 featuring six birdies and two bogeys.
