Preview
Afghanistan had excellent game other day against Scotland as they won it by 14 runs. The fact was their top order batsmen scored runs at good pace that led them putting 170 runs on the board. Mohammad Shahzad’s 61 runs and captain Asghar Stanikzai’s 55 runs innings were the highlights for Afghani side in that match. But they will definitely be worried about their bowling as Scottish side managed to score 156 runs in 170 reply.
On the other hand Hong Kong team were quite impressive against Zimbabwe and had chances to win the match. But they lost momentum in between the over though opener Atkinson scored fifty. Middle order needs to fire for Hong Kong if they are looking to beat Afghanistan.
