Kuwait and Hong Kong will go up against each other in Match No.4 of the Asia Cup 2022 Qualifier on Tuesday, August 23. Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) in Oman is the venue for this clash.
Kuwait, captained by Mohammad Aslam, pulled off a massive upset after beating the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by one wicket in their opening match. After being asked to chase down 174, Kuwait got over the finishing line with one ball to spare.
Edson Silva played a handy knock of 25 off 14 in the death overs with the help of two fours and as many sixes. Earlier, Ravija Sandaruwan and Meet Bhasvar laid the platform for Kuwait with a 53-run stand for the opening wicket off 6.2 overs.
Hong Kong, led by Nizakat Khan, on the other hand, are currently placed at the top of the points table with a decent net run rate of 0.400. They defeated Amjad Mahboob's Singapore in their first match by eight runs and registered their first win.
Kinchit Shah top-scored for them with a 32-ball 34, but it was Haroon Arshad's unbeaten 14-ball 27 that injected impetus into the Hong Kong innings. Thereafter, veteran spinner Ehsan Khan picked up three wickets and restricted Singapore.
