Hong Kong joins Asian Giants India and Pakistan in the main round of Asia Cup 2022
It was a memorable moment as Hong Kong reached the main round of Asia Cup 2022 after defeating the United Arab Emirates in a one-sided contest played at Al Amerat Stadium, Oman on Wednesday. After Kuwait defeated Singapore with an inferior net run rate, Hong Kong needed a win to qualify for the Asia Cup. Hong Kong captain Nizakat Khan won the toss and decided to field first. It was an ideal start as Ayush Shukla took 2 important wickets of dangerous Muhammad Waseem over and then dismissed wicketkeeper Arvind. Ehsan Khan got the wicket of Chirag Suri in the first over. At the end of the first 6 overs, UAE scored 45 for 3. Shukla then produced the magic getting rid of Aryan Lakra to leave UAE in trouble at 47 for 4. UAE captain CP Rizwan and Basil Hameed steadied the ship before Yasim Murtaza grabbed the wicket of Hameed. Zawar Farid and CP Rizwan rescued UAE innings with lovely shots trying to maintain momentum. Farid looked impressive with big shots while Rizwan kept the score...
