🏏Asia Cup 🏆2022: Pakistan vs Hong Kong🏏 - Page 4

Sanjay Manjrekar says in the pitch report that the ball may stop on to the pitch for the first five or six overs, but still expects good runs on what looks like a batting-friendly pitch.

Iqbal Qasim: "I really suggest that Babar should come at number 3 and take the innings to the end!" --- Here's Danyal Rasool on how Pakistan's strength is also their weakness in T20Is.

Great Boo: "I would have much preferred a group stage where each team plays all the others once, with an eliminator and a final. It would only have meant four more games, would have been wonderful for Hong Kong, and wouldn't have knocked out Bangladesh so quickly. But I suppose this way makes it possible for India and Pakistan to play each other three times..."

Shuja Mushtaq: Both teams will be looking for their first win after losing to India. Now it will be worth watching how Pakistan will play in the powerplay. I think Fakhar Zaman will open today with Rizwan. I hope to see a great match which we wish for.

National anthems done. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan walk out to open, shadow-practising their shots, loosening up. Hong Kong are in their huddle.

Rizwan and Babar Azam are at the crease. Rizwan is on strike. Haroon Arshad will open the attack
