Pakistan to take on Hong Kong in Asia Cup 2022 today

Sharjah: In Asia Cup 2022, the do-or-die fixture between Pakistan and Hong Kong is slated to be held on Friday (today) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. 

Pakistan will play its second match against Hong Kong, which will start at 7:00 pm.  

So far on the international stage, Hong Kong has never faced Pakistan in the T20Is.  

Both teams will meet for the first time in today’s match. However, in three meetings held for the One Day Internationals, Pakistan has convincingly emerged winners against Hong Kong. 

The green shirts will see their tournament draw to a close as the format for the first round means one defeat can place any side under instant pressure.
