He hit six fours and six sixes – four of which came in the final over.Hong Kong showed intent with the bat in the Powerplay, but once India’s spinners came on, they faded away.PromotedBabar Hayat top-scored for them with a 35-ball 41, while Kinchit Shah made 30 off 28. Hong Kong eventually finished with 152/5.Hong Kong still have slim hopes of making it to the Super-4 stage of the Asia Cup but they need to beat Pakistan in the final Group A encounter to make that happen.Topics mentioned in this article
