Get ready for an exhilarating encounter as Qatar (QAT) takes on Hong Kong (HK) in the 2nd T20I of the Hong Kong tour of Qatar 2024 at the University of Doha for Science and Technology in Doha. This match marks the second of the three T20I matches scheduled in this series, with Hong Kong currently leading 1-0. In the previous encounter, Hong Kong clinched a thrilling victory over Qatar by a margin of 10 runs, setting the stage for an intense showdown in the upcoming fixture.
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Qatar faced a formidable challenge from the Hong Kong batters. Openers Martin Coetzee and Nizakat Khan laid a solid foundation with a 67-run partnership before Musawar Shah struck to dismiss Khan. Anshuman Rath and Babar Hayat also fell victim to Shah’s bowling prowess. However, Aizaz Khan and Coetzee steadied the innings with a crucial 55-run partnership. Coetzee’s departure after scoring 74 runs marked a turning point, but Hong Kong managed to post a competitive total of 172 runs for the loss of eight wickets. Qatar’s bowlers, including Musawar Shah and Amir Farooq, made significant contributions by taking crucial wickets.
In response, Qatar’s opening duo of Adnan Mirza and Saqlain Arshad got off to a decent start with a 25-run partnership before Ehsan Nawaz struck twice to remove both openers. Imal Liyanage and Muhammad Tanveer then steadied the ship with a 52-run partnership, but the momentum shifted once Imal fell to Nasrulla Rana. Despite Tanveer’s valiant effort of scoring 66 runs off 48 balls, Qatar struggled to build partnerships, ultimately falling short of the target with a total of 162 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Hong Kong’s bowlers, led by Ehsan Nawaz and Nasrulla Rana, played pivotal roles in restricting Qatar’s chase.
