Hong Kong were doing so good until unless they did not cross to the 10th over, before Hong Kong got three wickets of Afghanistan at the end of the 10th over but then Afghanistan got power hitters as Sediqullah Atal opener, he was trying to built partnership early but soon when the wickets were continually losing then he started to hit long shorts and at the end, he scored about 70, due to his wonderful innings, Afghanistan got the lead and they became confident and motivated in the game.
Hong Kong bowled well for the first 16 overs and kept Afghanistan under pressure. But Sadiqullah Atal's fighting innings and Azmatullah Amarzai's attacking innings helped Afghanistan score big runs. After 15 overs, my prediction for Afghanistan's batting innings was 150-160 runs, as they were still playing slowly. But Azmatullah Amarzai's 53 off 21 balls changed all the calculations. Although I did not expect Hong Kong to win and that was probably a fair expectation, I wanted to see some good cricket from them and they managed to live up to some expectations. Barring the last 4 overs, they bowled well.
