<p>"I have no words to describe how I feel.

We took it game by game and the boys fought back really well. This is a big tournament to showcase our talent, and this is a great opportunity for everyone on this squad."</p>

<p>Asia Cup 2022, Match number 6, Pakistan vs Hong Kong. 10.4 overs is all that Pakistan took to wrap up hong kong's innings out. 38 all out, that's the decimation of all shorts. Hong Kong won the flip of the coin and invited Pakistan to bat first. Pakistan scored 193/2 in their quota of 20 overs.</p>

<p>Babar Azam was dismissed for 9 (8) in the third over and that was the only thing in Hong Kong's favor throughout the match. Rizwan, who completed his 5000 runs in T20 cricket, scored 78* runs in 57 balls, while Fakhar scored 53 runs in 41 balls and Khushdil's blistering 35* runs in 15 balls towards the end, leading their side to 193.</p>

<p>In the chase, 193 looked nothing less than a mammoth score for Hong Kong as none of their batters went par 10 runs. Naseem Shah drew the first blood in the third over and then the whole team collapsed like a pack of cards, Hong Kong fell just short of 155 runs and got all out at just 38. Shadab Khan took 4 wickets, MD Nawaz took 3, and Naseem shah and Shahnawaz Dahani got 2 and 1 respectively. </p>

<p><strong>What they said:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Nizakat, HK captain:</strong>&nbsp;Lots of learning from these two games. Must give credit to Pakistan. Their bowling was phenomenal. Our shot-making was poor.</p>



<p><strong>Azam, Pakistan captain:</strong>&nbsp;Very good win for us. Weren't able to get our shots away initially with the bat. Our plan is for batters at the top to play at the end. Becomes easier for those coming in. Naseem and Dahani are performing really well having made debuts very recently.</p>



<p><strong>Rizwan, Player of the Match:</strong>&nbsp;Most important thing for us is to assess conditions. Our effort is to forget the format and assess conditions. The plan in the first 10 overs was to play with a straight bat. The ball was kept low. Being the main player, you have to take responsibility. You look at what the team demands.</p>



<h2>Playing XIs:</h2>



<p><strong>Pakistan:</strong> Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Fakhar Zaman, Khushdil Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Shahnawaz Dahani, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah</p>

T20 Asia Cup 2022: Pakistan Hammers Hong Kong, Pak vs HK Match Review.

<p><strong>PAK vs HK:</strong> A comprehensive win for Pakistan to start their Asian Games 2023 campaign against Hong Kong in the 2nd quarterfinal. Pakistan struggled initially but tail-end batting and then the evergreen top-notch bowling unit set the game up for them. This post read the Scores of Pakistan Batters in The PAK vs HK 2nd Quarterfinal Match in Asian Games 2023 Men's Cricket.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-hk-scorecard">PAK vs HK: Scorecard</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-160-10">Pakistan- 160/10</a></li><li class=""><a href="#hong-kong-92-10">Hong Kong- 92/10</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Hong Kong won the flip of the coin and decided to bat first. They were quite successful in their plans when they pushed Pakistan under deep pressure. Mirza Baig went back duck and Yousuf, Nazir, Haider Ali, and skipper Qasim Akram didn't convert those small starts. Pakistan were 73 for 6 down in 12 overs at one stage.</p>



<p>Asif Ali, Arafat Minhas, and Aamer Jamal, down the order, took charge and put forth a competitive total of 160 runs. These three batters contributed 91 runs in 52 balls.</p>



<p>But it was a different story when Pakistan had the ball in their hands. They didn't even allow any batter to open their shots. Only Babar Hayat was a batsman for Hong Kong to score over 20. Leaving his contribution behind, the entire batting of Hong Kong scored less than 60 runs.</p>



<p>Four ducks and just three sixes, that is the summary of Hong Kong innings. Khushdil Shah took 3 wickets, Minhas, Muqeem, and Akram shared 2 wickets each and Pakistan bowled out Hong Kong under 92 runs.</p>



<p>Pakistan won the match by 68 runs and confirmed their berth in the semifinals of the Asian Games 2023 Men's Cricket.</p>
