India vs Hong Kong Competition:
In the last 50-over Asia Cup held in 2018, Hong Kong’s openers Nijagat Khan and Anshuman Rath put on a 175/0 run partnership to chase down India’s target of 286 runs. Fortunately, India performed well in the final stages and won by 26 runs.
This Hong Kong team has recently dominated and won against teams like UAE, Kuwait, Singapore and Netherlands. Due to this, India has to play very cautiously today.
And since most of the Hong Kong team are natives of India and Pakistan, it is believed that India will definitely have challenges in today’s match. Thus, it is assumed that Rohit will not want to change the team.
Who has a chance in the Indian team?
Dinesh Karthik is likely to replace Rishabh Pant in today’s match. Also, with Hardik Pandya capable of bowling 4 overs, Avesh Khan has no work to do. Thus, it is said that Ravichandran Ashwin is likely to be included today. Ashwin can also perform well with the bat. This is the only change expected in the team.
Indian intention XI Team:Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan / Ashwin, Yujvendra Sahal, Arshdeep Singh.
Pakistan intended XI Team: Nizakat Khan (capt), Yashim Mortaza, Babar Hayat, Kinjid Shah, Aziz Khan, Scott McKessin, Jason Ali, Haroon Arsad, Ishaan Khan, Mohammad Ghajanbar, Ayuz Shukla.
