Overall, Malz wins.

He has much better denial and laning tools. Veigar cannot defend himself from a vision+voidling at low levels other than running like a pussy to his tower so the to tower can kill it hence loosing XP and gold (seriously, the voidling's DPS is INSANE at early levels, you can't affor to tank the damage because you're made of paper and the darn thing has too much health to Q it to death). Malz can harass Veigar even when Veigar is under his tower while Veigar can't do it as effectively. Malz can powerfarm like crazy once he gets enough AP even without the blue buff, while Veigar needs the blue buff to be able to farm properly (or he gets a chalice, but Malz synergises very well with a chalice too).

In the case of a duel, the first to land his CC wins, however Malz has a silence and a point-and-click suppression, while Veigar only has a skillshot stun. Furthermore, Malz can usually kill Veigar without his ultimate thanks to the huge damage and low cooldown on Vision, or simply without having to root Veigar unde Null Zone since Veigar is so squishy. Veigar on the other hand will probably not be able to kill Malz as effectively without the ult, since at low health Malz can usually recall before Primordial Impact gets off cooldown.
