India just managed to reach 285/7 in 50 overs against HK. This is not a good score considering it is HK atleast they should have made 325+ runs if they have to beat the best of the teams. Also HK is 139/0 and India team has not even manage to pick up a single wicket in 30 overs till now.

285/7 is a par score against Associate nations, but you would expect these scores to be easily defended. The first wicket partnership really scared India, but once India got the Hong Kong openers out, HK was under pressure. Even though this is a second string Indian side, I expected them to thrash HK. That didn't happen, with India winning by only 26 runs.

A very close match indeed. At one point, it seemed like India would lose this one.

Tomorrow's match between India and Pakistan will be a very interesting one. India should let Khaleel Ahmed play one more match tomorrow, it won't be a wise decision to get him out of the team against a very solid team.

HK openers performance was much better than any of the Indian batsman and they were playing under pressure against a one of the worlds best cricket team. India was lucky that in last 15 overs their bowlers could do magic to change all calculations. No one was expected HK will give such a best performance in this match.

By looking at current Indian team performance Pakistan got an upper hand to win today's match. MS didn't contribute anything in yesterday's match so we can expect some fireworks from him today and if that happens then India can get some decent score to put pressure on Pakistan.
