Preview :

Pakistan will be locking horns against Hong Kong in the sixth match of the Asia Cup 2022 at Sharjah. These two teams belong to Group A and both of them have lost to India in the group stages. The winner of this game will proceed to the Super 4 stage.
Pakistan is currently second on the Group A list due to their narrow defeat against India, while Hong Kong is at the last position on the list as they lost to India by a margin of 40 runs. However, a win is the only need to qualify further for both of them. Both teams would be aiming to improve on their weak areas and present a strong contention in this match

With a heart-wrenching last over loss against India, Pakistan would be gutted with the way they performed in their opening contest. They did well with the ball in the second-half but the total they scored just wasn't enough to provide any comfort to the bowlers. They have the needed expertise to get past even the best in the business but have lacked the execution skills. Even though this upcoming match is against Hong Kong, they would still want to register a win here. On paper, Pakistan have a remarkably good opening pair that is not backed up by a middle-order as good. The pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have done incredibly well over the last one year and a lot will depend on how their opening pair does. While Pakistan have some talented young players in the middle, they are known to collapse as a team in crunch situations. Asif Ali has not yet done justice to his talent and this tournament and the ones to follow is where he would want to make a mark.

Hong Kong have certainly surprised one and all with their skills, grit, and determination. They would need to execute things better under pressure as that could be a turning point in this upcoming match. Against India, Hong Kong were pretty good for a decent stretch in the match but lost control when it mattered the most. They bowled well in the first fifteen overs and batted pretty well too. While they ended up way short of the total they needed to score, they did an excellent job to stay in the hunt for a decent time in the match.
On paper, Hong Kong are a bit over-reliant on only a few players and that can hurt them against Pakistan. Their top-three have been brilliant thus far and a lot will depend on how they do. As seen against India, they have a little fragile bowling attack that might break when put under the pump.
