Preview :

India and Hong Kong will play the fourth match of the Asia Cup 2022 on Wednesday (August 31) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. India started their campaign with a win against Pakistan on Sunday. India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets after chasing a target of 148 runs in 19.4 overs. This will be the first T20I game betweeen India and Hong Kong. Both the teams have played two ODI matches both of which were won by India. Hong Kong gave a tough fight to India in the last game during the last edition of the Asia Cup. Hong Kong made 259 runs while chasing a total of 286 runs and lost the game by a mere margin of 26 runs.
Hong Kong have qualified to this tournament after coming through the Qualifier tournament. They defeated the likes of Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Singapore to find their place in the tournament. They will be playing in the Asia Cup for the fourth time since making their debut in 2004. Hong Kong have played a total of 6 matches in the tournament and have never managed to win a game. They will be hoping for a different campaign this year.

India is the defending champion of the T20 Asia Cup competition. They will take on the challenge of Hong Kong in the 4th game of Asia Cup 2022 on 31st August 2022. This 2nd match of Group A will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in UAE. In the first game of the competition, India outplayed the traditional rivals Pakistan by 5 wickets. It may be strange to some people, but India and Hong Kong have never played each other in a T20I match before this. This game is a terrific opportunity for the Indians to take an easy win and top Group A. We have seen from the short evidence so far in the competition that one of the significant game changers for India is Ravindra Jadeja. He can contribute with the bat or the ball or even on the field. Apart from chipping in with a few overs, he played a significant inning in the game against Pakistan getting 35 runs from 29 balls while batting in the number 4 position. Another disciplined bowler for India is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He was the destroyer-in-chief for India against Pakistan with amazing figures of 4 for 26. The inexperienced Hong Kong batsmen will have their hands full against him in this game.

This is the first group stage match for Hong Kong in the Asia Cup, 2022. After winning the qualifier round of the competition earlier, Hong Kong has joined India and Pakistan in Group A of the main event. Many other teams were fighting for a place in the main draw such as UAE, Singapore, and Kuwait. The only thing that goes in the favor of Hong Kong in this game is that they have nothing to lose. So, they will not be under any pressure to win the game to prove something. Hong Kong had to face a fair share of ups and downs on its route to qualification in the main draw. During the qualifiers for the Asia Cup, 2022 Yasim Murtaza collected 130 runs with an average of 43. His highest score during the qualifiers was 58 runs. He also contributed with the ball picking up 3 wickets. In this game, Hong Kong will depend on the experience of Nizakat Khan at the top of the order. Although he failed in his batting effort in a couple of games, he also recorded scores of 81, 39, and 50 in his other 3 innings. Another crucial player for Hong Kong is Babar Hayat who hit a couple of good scores of 38 not out and 53 in the middle portion of Hong Kong batting. He has also scored a hundred and 4 fifties in this format.
