IND vs HK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s Asia Cup match between India and Hong Kong?

Team India is set to take on Hong Kong in their second group stage encounter of the 2022 T20 Asia Cup slated to be played at the Dubai International Stadium on August 31 (Wednesday). The Men in Blue are coming to the competition after winning against the arch-rivals Pakistan and are clear favorites to win the competition.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, will look to give tough competition to the Indian side. Senior batters like Nizakat Khan and Babar Hayat will have to bring out their A-game against the strong Indian bowling line-up and try to score some big runs for their team in the upcoming contest.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Rohit Sharma:

Skipper Rohit Sharma played a decent knock for his team during the first encounter against the Pakistan team, but he failed to capitalize the start he got. The captain will want to lead from the front and play a big knock against the Hong Kong bowling line-up.  

Probable best bowler of the match:

Bhuvneshwar Kumar:

Team India senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a perfect outing against the Pakistani side as he scalped some crucial wickets for the Men in Blue. The right-arm pacer is performing extremely well with the new ball and he will want to emulate his performance against Hong Kong as well.
