PAK vs HK: Pakistan stitched a rather easy win over Hong Kong to march into the semi finals of the Asian Games. Batting first the Men in Green managed to score 160 runs. In reply, Hong Kong was bowled out on 92 thereby granting PAK a 68 run victory. Up next, Pakistan advances to compete against either Sri Lanka or Afghanistan for a place in the final.
Pakistan has opted to send a relatively young squad to the Asian Games since many of their key players are currently in India for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Qasim Akram, the team possesses proven performers such as Rohail Nazir, Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Shahnawaz Dahani, and others. As a result, they are considered one of the top contenders for the gold medal.
For Hong Kong, this presents a significant opportunity to showcase their skills against a formidable team like Pakistan. Nizakat Khan & Co performed admirably in the group stage, securing comfortable victories against Cambodia and Japan. The team boasts talented players like Babar Hayat, Shiv Mathur, Nasrulla Rana, Ayush Shukla, Anas Khan, and more.
