PAK vs HK Preview

- In the previous game against India, Hong Kong’s bowling was completely destroyed, as the team gave up 195 runs.
The last Group A match of the 2022 Asia Cup features Pakistan and Hong Kong on Friday night at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. On Sunday, Pakistan lost to India, and on Wednesday night, Hong Kong also suffered a defeat against the same opponent. The game’s winner will move on to the Super Four round. At 18:00 local time, the game in Sharjah begins.
Pakistan has not triumphed in either of its IT20 matches in 2022, and you must go back to December of the previous year to locate its most recent triumph in this format. They will, however, be lopsided favorites going into this game.
In their match against India, Hong Kong did not perform poorly and had few opportunities to enter the contest. If they want to challenge Pakistan in this match, they will need to advance a few more stages.

Pakistan Team News & Probable Playing XIs
On Sunday, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Shahnawaz Dahani made up Pakistan’s pace lineup. There might be a temptation in Sharjah to add another spinner. Shah experienced cramping during his final over against India, but after five days of recuperation, he should be OK.

Pakistan’s Probable XI
Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Fakhar Zaman, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Khushdil Shah, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Shahnawaz Dahani, Haris Rauf
Hong Kong Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Games between associate sides and full members are frequently quick affairs, but Hong Kong proved against India that they should not be disregarded. We predict them to start the same lineup in this game, where a berth in the Super Four is still up for grabs because none of their players suffered injuries in the first game.
