Asia Cup 2022 Qualifiers – Hong Kong vs UAE: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Hong Kong and UAE will go up against each other in Match No.6 of the Asia Cup 2022 Qualifier on Wednesday, August 24. Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1), Al Amerat, Oman, is the venue for this clash.
Hong Kong, captained by Nizakat Khan, have started the tournament on a stupendous note. After beating Singapore by eight runs, they defeated Kuwait by eight wickets. With a net run rate of +0.716, Hong Kong are sitting pretty on top of the points table.
A win would take them straight into the main round of the Asia Cup where they will face India and Pakistan. However, a loss is most likely to knock them out of the competition. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a much better net run rate compared to the Southeast Asian country.
The UAE, led by CP Rizwan, on the other hand, started the championship in an indifferent way. They lost to Kuwait by one wicket in their opening match. However, the team made a strong comeback to beat Singapore by 47 runs.
With a net run rate of 1.045, the UAE needs an outright win to advance to the next round. However, getting past Hong Kong won't be a walk in the park for them as Nizakat Khan and Co. have won two matches in a row and haven't done much wrong.
