Asia Cup 2022 Qualifiers - Singapore vs Hong Kong: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Singapore and Hong Kong are set to lock horns in Match No.1 of the Asia Cup 2022 Qualifier on Saturday, August 20. Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1), Al Amerat, Oman will host the contest.
Singapore, captained by Amjad Mahboob, are keen to qualify for the main round of the Asia Cup. However, their recent form hasn't been great. They lost all of their last six completed T20I matches and faced defeat to the UAE and Hong Kong as well.
They also don't have Tim David in their team for the time being. Surendran Chandramohan has been a prolific run-scorer for them and he needs to be on top of his game. The likes of Manpreet Singh and Janak Prakash also have plenty of experience under his belt.
Hong Kong, led by Nizakat Khan, are among the favorites to qualify for the main round of the Asia Cup. Back in 2018, they played in the tournament and gave India an almighty scare.
Although they don't have Anshuman Rath anymore, the likes of Nizakat Khan can give the opposition plenty of headaches.
