India vs Hong Kong – Performance in the Past Matches
Hong Kong is set to face their biggest test in the Asia Cup against India on 31st august, Wednesday at Dubai International Stadium. The Nizakat Khan-led side beat UAE in the Asia Cup qualifiers and secured a place in the main event. Now, Hong Kong will battle against two mighty teams in Group A, India and Pakistan. Hong Kong has played a good brand of cricket in the qualifiers but fighting against India is a stiffer challenge for them. The Rohit Sharma-led side beat arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets in the second match and have made a great start in the tournament. India delivered a complete performance with bat and ball and Hardik Pandya led the side by scoring 33 runs and picking 3 three wickets. Virat Kohli also scored 35 runs. Against Hong Kong, they will surely show some consistency.
India vs Hong Kong – Face to Face
Hong Kong has not played much against big teams on a consistent basis. They will play their first match in Asia Cup against India in the T20 format. They faced India in one ODI back in the 2008 Asia Cup and India emerged victorious in the match.
