Hong Kong, meanwhile, will be keen to build on their performances in the qualifiers, which saw them win three matches out of three.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar excelled with the ball, claiming four for 26, while left-arm Arshdeep Singh impressed again with figures of two for 33. On the batting front, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with 35 each.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya was the standout performer against Pakistan. He caught the batters napping with his sharp bouncers and claimed three for 25. With the match in the balance, he then cracked an unbeaten 33 off 17 with the bat, which included the game-clinching six.
