Pakistan skipper Babar Azam failed to get going against India but the right-handed batter will want to put on a solid show with the bat against the meek-looking Hong Kong bowling attack before going to the playoffs stage. 

Probable best bowler of the match:

Pakistan express pacer Naseem Shah bowled extremely well against the Men in Blue and the right-arm pacer will want to emulate his performance against the Hong Kong side as well.
