The Indian team will take on Hong Kong in the Asia Cup today, after clearing the account of the loss suffered by Pakistan 10 months ago. Hong Kong made the main round of the Asia Cup after winning all three matches in the qualifiers. The match will start at 7:30 pm at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India-Hong Kong match for the third time in the history of the Asia Cup
For the first time in 2008, the teams of India and Hong Kong met face to face. In that match, Team India scored 374 runs losing 4 wickets in 50 overs playing first. Old teammates Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina both scored brilliant centuries. Dhoni remained unbeaten on 109, while Raina scored 101 runs. Later, the entire Hong Kong team was all out after scoring only 118 runs. India won the match by a huge margin of 256 runs.
After this, both the teams met in the Group A match of the Asia Cup in 2018. In that 50-50 match, India scored 285 thanks to Shikhar Dhawan's 127 runs. The Hong Kong team also made a strong performance during the run chase and scored 259 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. In this way, India won by 26 runs.
Both teams would like to select to bowl first after winning the toss.
Talking about the pitch, once again the team that becomes the boss of the toss can get an edge in the match. Talking about history, the chasing team in the second inning has been getting easier. Another thing came out in the India-Pakistan match of the Asia Cup.
Babar Azam, the Pakistani captain and the world's number one batsman, lost the toss as if he had given up hope of winning. His body language was visible down as if he had laid down his arms before the start of the match. In today's match, the spectators will hope that whichever team loses the toss, they enter the match with full force.
Now, look at the possible playing 11 of both teams in today's match.
India started their campaign by defeating Pakistan in the first match of the Asia Cup on Sunday night. Team India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in a thrilling match in Group A match. Batting first after losing the toss, the Pakistan team was all out for 147 runs in 19.5 overs.
In reply, India achieved the target in 19.4 overs for the loss of 5 wickets.
Hardik Pandya proved to be the hero of India's victory. He took three wickets while bowling, then scored 33 runs in 17 balls while playing the best innings in the pressure-filled moments. He was also adjudged player of the match.
Captain Rohit and Virat could not play big innings
Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli got out in the circle of increasing the pressure on Pakistan. Mohammad Nawaz took the wicket of both. Captain Rohit scored 12 runs, while Virat's bat scored 35 runs in 34 balls.
Once again Kohli could not play a match-winning innings for India. With the speed with which these two players are expected to play in T20 matches, both failed to do so. In the match against Hong Kong today, the Indian camp will be expecting big innings from both players.
Hong Kong did not lose a single match in the qualifiers
Talking about the Indian team, they have almost confirmed their place in the Super 4 by defeating Pakistan, while the Hong Kong team will take the field in the tournament for the first time. Now comes the journey to Hong Kong in the qualifiers.
First of all, Hong Kong started its journey by defeating Singapore with 8 runs. In the next match, he won a one-sided victory over Kuwait. Now the match in which Hong Kong had to enter was a do-or-die match. The team that won the hand could have reached the main draw of the Asia Cup.
UAE was trampled and made a place in the Asia Cup
The advantage of home conditions was with the UAE, while the form was indicating a victory for Hong Kong. Hong Kong continued its winning streak and defeated UAE by 8 wickets to qualify for the main tournament.
Babar Hayat and Nizakat Khan have scored consistently for Hong Kong. Ehsan Khan and Aijaz Khan's balls are showing edge in the bowling. Meanwhile, the all-around game of Yasim Mortaza can overwhelm the Indian team. In such a situation, the Indian team would not like to take this match lightly.
