Asia Cup 2022: India vs Hong Kong – Dafanews Match Preview

India will take on Hong Kong in the fourth match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Wednesday. The Rohit Sharma-led team had come with a fine bowling performance against Pakistan to win their opening game of the tournament by five wickets.

We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for India: W W W W L

India has ticked the right boxes in the T20I format in the recent past. However, the team’s batting looked at sea against Pakistan. KL Rahul was dismissed early while Rohit Sharma failed to achieve any momentum. Virat Kohli got off to a start and it was a positive sign for the team. However, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya did a fine job in getting their team over the line.

Current form for Hong Kong: W W W L W

Hong Kong won all of their qualifying matches to make their way into the competition. However, the team will have to play out of this world to throw a challenge to the Indian team. Nizakat Khan will look to get the best out of his players and it will be a great opportunity for these players to learn from their opposition.

Head to Head: India and Hong Kong have not faced each other in the T20I format. India has won both of its ODI matches against Hong Kong.

Players to look out for: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumara and Yuzvendra Chahal will hold the key for India.

Ehsan Khan Babar Hayat Nizakat Khan, Kinchit Shah, Zeeshan Arshad, and Yasim Murtaza will play a crucial role for Hong Kong.

Squads of both teams:

India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.
